Chicken With Carrot Sauce
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 cups carrot juice
1 cup cream sherry
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper (wash hands). Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken (wash hands); cook 4–5 minutes on each side or until golden.
- Meanwhile, preheat large saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place butter in pan; swirl to coat. Add walnuts and raisins; cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until raisins begin to soften. Whisk in small bowl, cornstarch and carrot juice until blended. Stir in carrot juice mixture and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat on chicken breasts to medium; cover and cook 4–5 more minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
- Reduce heat on sauce to medium-low; cook 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until slightly thickened. Slice chicken and serve with sauce.
