I stumbled across this recipe a few months ago when looking for some ideas for inexpensive meals. Since then we've been using grapes a lot in our cooking, mainly because we always seem to buy more grapes than we can snack on in a week's time. The recipe comes from the What's Cooking blog (it focuses on recipes with a Mexican twist), where it was adapted from a recipe from the California Table Grape Commission, which offers a ton of great recipes.
The ingredients:
2 TBSP butter or margarine
2 pounds chicken breasts, cut in strips
4 TBSP flour
1 1/2 cups red or black grapes
1/3 cup honey
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
3 to 5 whole cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp cumin
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325ºF
Melt the butter in a heavy saute pan or casserole over medium high heat.
Dust the chicken with the flour and brown slowly in the melted butter.
Move the chicken to a baking dish and add grapes, honey, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, salt, pepper and cumin.
Cover and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite side dish or salad.
