SEARED CHICKEN WITH GRAPES AND ARTICHOKES
Grapes are a smart choice to keep on hand for healthy snacking and eating, and the vibrant colors and flavors bring extra life to a basic protein – such as chicken.

For a unique twist on a main dish, dressing up chicken with an addition like fresh grapes is as elegant as it is delicious. This Seared Chicken with Grapes and Artichokes is a great example.

Recipe Yield: 4 servings.

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each), butterflied lengthwise into 4 cutlets
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 leek, white part only, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1-1/2 cups quartered artichoke hearts, frozen, canned or jarred
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons butter
3/4 cup green California grapes
3/4 cup red California grapes
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

1 – Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to taste.
2 – In saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add chicken breasts and sear 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
3 – Add remaining olive oil to pan, along with garlic, leek and pinch of salt; cook on medium heat 2-3 minutes to soften leek.
4 – Stir in oregano, artichokes, wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter. Simmer 2-3 minutes then add chicken back to pan, basting each breast with sauce.
5 – Add grapes and simmer 3-5 minutes, or until grapes are just soft and chicken is cooked through.
6 – Stir in fresh parsley and serve.
