Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger

  • 4 bay leaves

  • ⅓ cup dry white wine

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • ½ cup orange juice

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Directions

  1. Coat chicken with flour.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken with garlic, ginger, and bay leaves until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes per side.

  3. Mix wine, vinegar, and honey together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until sauce is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and continue cooking until sauce is reduced by 2/3, about 10 minutes. Strain reduction sauce.

  4. Pour strained reduction sauce over chicken; add pine nuts and simmer over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

My recommendation would be to double the sauce as this recipe seems to produce too little sauce for my taste. However, this sauce is quite strong!
