“New Year's Eve, 9 p.m. and no idea what I'm going to cook for my husband and I for dinner. My husband was already suggesting Chinese delivery. I felt bad and thought it would be the good wife thing to end the year with a cooked meal. This is what I came up with: chicken breast with red grapes and kalamata olives plated with wild brown rice and your favorite vegetable. Sherry may be substituted for the muscat wine.” - by GoodFood

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
20 pitted kalamata olives
20 red seedless grapes
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup orange muscat wine

Hide Checklist

Directions

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Stir in the garlic, olives, and grapes; cook and stir 1 minute. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with feta cheese. Pour the wine into the pan and bring to a boil. Cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce reduced by half, about 5 minutes more.

"I substituted sherry for the muscat wine, and it turned out very well. The only negative thing I can find to say at all is that I found my chicken got a little dry and tough from being in the pan so ..." See morelong after it was finished cooking, to give the sauce time to cook. Still, my husband and I just had it for Valentine's dinner with some green beans amandine and roasted herbed potatoes, and it was delicious! Thanks!"

"I didn't have any orange muscat but I did have Marsala, also a sweet wine, so I used that. I cut the chicken breasts into strips because they were quite large and I wanted to speed up the process.
