Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts butterflied, about 6oz each
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 2 cups thinly sliced onion about 1 large
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup dried plums (prunes) chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 lb green beans steamed
- Couscous or rice for serving*
Instructions
- On a flat surface, butterfly the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat up 2 teaspoons of oil. Add chicken to the pan and cook, for about 4 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and is cooked to 165F. Remove chicken from the pan onto a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Heat up remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the pan and add onions. Cook stirring often, until they are soft and golden, for about 3-4 minutes. Stir in broth, bring to a boil and scrape the chicken tidbits from the pan. Add plums, sage, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
- Plate chicken with the onions and spoon sauce from the pan on top of the chicken. Serve with steamed green beans on the side. Make this a full meal by cooking rice or couscous.
