Chicken can be just as healthy as a salad, especially if it is
skinless and you choose to grill instead of fry. This healthy
chicken breast recipe has it all. With a mouth watering plum
sauce, it is sure to please. That good flavor will give your
family something to talk about between each and every bite.
Ingredients: 4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh plums, chopped ½ cup brown sugar,
firmly packed 2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. cornstarch 1 tsp. ginger 2 tbsp.
soy sauce 1 tbsp. plum jelly 1 tsp. garlic
powder 1 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. black
pepper
Parsley as a garnish (optional)
To Make:
Preheat the oven to 375. The glaze for this recipe may be made
the day before you plan to make this dish. It just will need to
be refrigerated. If you use fresh plums, they will need to have
the pits removed before using.
You can use canned or frozen varieties of this fruit if you want
to. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the plums, the plum
jelly, cornstarch, and the soy sauce. If the mixture is too dry,
add a little water.
Now gradually add the brown sugar while stirring. Next, add the
lemon juice and ginger. Continue mixing. Lastly, add the garlic
and onion powder, and the black pepper. Once this plum glaze has
been mixed well, it is ready to use.
Place each chicken breast, one by one, into the mixing bowl and
cover each it with the plum glaze. Do this for each chicken
breast. Then put the chicken breasts in a baking pan. You can
add one more spoonful of plum glaze to each chicken breast
before putting them in the oven if you wish. Bake this dish on
375 for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Top each piece of chicken with
parsley before serving.
Serves 4.
