Recipe ingredients
- Stuffing
- 1 green onion
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) dried dates*
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) toasted almonds
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) Irresistibles orange juice*
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts*
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil*
- Sauce
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) butter*
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 cup (250 mL) chicken broth*
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) coarsely chopped dried dates*
- 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) Irresistibles cinnamon*
- Wide strip of orange peel
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Chop green onion in the food processor. Add dates and almonds and chop until mixture is of even consistency. Add orange juice and season to taste.
Butterfly breasts (halve where thickest without cutting all the way through) and flatten slightly using a meat pounder or skillet. Spread stuffing on open breasts and close breasts, with toothpicks. Place chicken to a baking dish, brush with olive oil and bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 min.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat and cook green onion and garlic 1 min.
Add chicken broth, dates, cinnamon and orange peel. Season. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently 5–7 min. or until dates are very soft. Strain, pressing the dates through the sieve and leaving only the skins behind. Keep warm.
Slice stuffed chicken breasts. Spoon sauce into plates, lay slices on top.
