 his sweet chicken dish is the perfect way to ring in a sweet New Year. It's also great for those of us who like to watch our salt intake. For juicier chicken, consider substituting thighs for breasts.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Rosie Organic boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 4 teaspoons Napa Valley organic olive oil
- -olive oil cooking spray
- 1 medium Melissa's organic onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Melissa's organic garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups juice from organic navel oranges
- 2 medium orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (yams), peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
- 1/2 cup Newman's Own organic pitted prunes, halved
Instructions:
Toss chicken cubes with flour in a sealed plastic bag.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until clear. If necessary, coat the pan with some olive oil spray then add the garlic and chicken. Lightly brown the chicken on both sides.
While the chicken is browning, mix the cinnamon, ginger and pepper with the orange juice.
Place the sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for one minute to soften slightly.
When the chicken is brown, add the orange juice, sweet potatoes and prunes. Bring mixture to a boil; cover and reduce heat. Simmer 45-55 minutes, stirring occasionally. When sweet potatoes are tender, check the consistency of the sauce. It should not be too runny or too thick. If it is too thick, add more orange juice or water. If too thin, uncover, remove chicken and simmer about five minutes to cook off some of the liquid.
