Chicken With Peaches And Red Wine - 13.2g Carbs, 1.9g Fiber, 6.8g Sugar

From: Prevention's The Sugar Solution Cookbook

Turn your average skillet chicken into an appetizing melange when you
add fresh basil and ripe peaches. Cooking peaches helps release some
of their vitamins and minerals, including potassium which helps power
muscles, and beta-carotene which makes skin supple and teeth strong.

Serves: 4
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 20 min
Total: 40 min

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp whole grain pastry flour
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry red wine or chicken broth
2 firm ripe peaches, sliced
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, sliced

1. Use your hands to flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
Season the chicken with the pepper and the salt. Coat with the flour,
patting off the excess.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons
of the oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 12 minutes, turning
once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest
portion registers 160 degrees F and the juices run clear. Remove the
chicken to a plate.

3. Add the remaining oil and the shallots to the skillet. Cook, stirring
frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shallots soften. Add the
wine or broth and stir to scrape up any brown bits. Increase the heat
to medium-high and add the peaches. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring
frequently, until the wine reduces slightly. Return the chicken and
any juices on the plate to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes,
stirring frequently, or until the chicken is hot. Stir in the basil.

User Review:
by dthompson 7/31/2009 - I like this recipe. However, while the
red wine give it a pretty good taste, using it does not make it
look very appetizing. Next time I'll use the broth.
