Chicken with Dried Plum and Sage
from cooking light:


4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tbspn chopped fresh sage, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 tsp olive oil, divided
2 c thinly sliced onion (about 1 large)
1/2 c dry white wine
1/2 c chicken broth
12 pitted dried plums, halved (why don't they just call them what they are- prunes!!)
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar

1. sprinkle chicken with 1 tbspn sage, salt and some pepper
2. heat 2 tsp oil in large skillet over medium heat. add chicken to pan and cook until golden. remove chicken from pan. heat remaining oil in pan. add onion to pan and cook until tender, stir in wine and broth, bring to a boil. add remaining 1 tbspn sage and dried plums (prunes!) to pan. cook 4 minutes or until mixture thickens. stir in more pepper and the vinegar. serve with chicken breast and 1/2 c sauce.




** we had this last week and surprisingly enough it was delicious! the sage is really tasty and the prunes add just a little something. but if you don't like prunes then i don't recommend making this. we really liked it.
