Orange Muscat Chicken


Ingredients:



  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • Coarse sea salt and ground pepper

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 cup mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced

  • 2 shallots, minced

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage

  • 1/2 cup Orange Muscat wine (or Marsala)

  • ½ cup golden raisins

  • 2 tablespoons capers

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoon butter

    Directions:

    Place flour in a shallow bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chicken, and cook until golden on the outside and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm (reserve skillet).

    Add mushrooms, shallot, golden raisins, capers, sage, and 1/4 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine and cream; simmer over medium-high until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter; season with salt and pepper.

    Top chicken with mushroom sauce, and garnish with sage.  Serve on a bed of rice or noodles.

The building those wheels sit in front of is an old Pony Express stop.  So, yes, those were likely stage coach wheels.
