Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 3/4 cup 100% grape juice not from concentrate
- 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup (roughly 40g) dates lightly packed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of ground allspice
For the chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (about 6 small breasts)
- 1 can sliced water chestnuts chopped
- 6 lices Bacon
- salt and black pepper to taste
- green onion for garnish
Instructions
To make the sauce:
- In a medium pot, stir together all of the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil on high heat. Once boiling, cook for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Once the sauce has boiled for 1 1/2 minutes, turn the heat down to medium and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken and reduce, about 9 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Once reduced, pour the sauce into a high-powered blender or small food processor, and blend until smooth. Transfer to a measuring cup - you should have about 6 ounces.
Make the chicken:
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Slice a pocket in the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through it. Stuff water chestnuts into each pocket.
- Wrap one slice of bacon around each chicken breast, securing with a toothpick if needed. Sprinkle over salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pan on high heat, add a drop of oil, and brown the chicken on both sides for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the bacon is golden.
- Once the chicken is browned, transfer it to a wire cooling rack with legs. Put the cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet (this is going to allow air under the chicken so the bacon can get crispy on the bottom too!)
- Spread 1 tablespoon of sauce on top of each chicken breast. Then, bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, spread an additional tablespoon on each chicken breast (that should be all the sauce) and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is nice and thick.
- Garnish with sliced green onion and serve!
