INSTRUCTIONS
[1] SAUTE CHICKEN: Season boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides
with salt and pepper. In a large heavy skillet, heat 1-1/2 tsp. olive or
canola oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until well browned,
about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate (not paper) and tent
with foil.
[2] FLAVOR: Reduce heat to medium and add second measure of oil to skillet.
Add the aromatics in order listed. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
[3] MAKE SAUCE: Add the pineapple juice, broth, apricots and lemon juice.
Bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
[4] ASSEMBLE & SERVE: Return chicken and juices to skillet; reduce heat to
low. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer
chicken to a warmed platter. Season sauce with salt and pepper and spoon
over the chicken. Garnish.
>FYI: When sauteing skinless boneless chicken breast halves, the first goal
is to get a nicely caramelized, slightly crusted exterior, while keeping
the inside moist and tender. The second goal is to get a fast, delicious
pan sauce that capitalizes on the rich flavor left in the skillet after the
Chicken is cooked. Therefore Eating Well's Kitchen staff recommend using a
cast iron skillet. March 1998 has ten sauces to try.
