made with same ingredients as original but adapted

for boneless and skinless chicken breasts

½ C dried cherries

½ C dried cranberries

4 plump half-breasts of chicken

1 ½ C orange juice

½ C dry sherry

¼ C brown sugar

2 t potato starch

Optional pre-treatment of chicken breasts:

Dissolve 1 T of cornstarch in 2 T water.

Add 1 T dry sherry. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Marinate the breasts in this mixture an hour or so in a shallow baking dish, turning occasionally.

Put fruits in small bowl and cover with boiling water. Drain after 10 minutes and set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, dissolve 2 teaspoons potato starch in 1 tablespoon water.

Add the orange juice and the sherry and the quarter cup of brown sugar.

Mix thoroughly with whisk or spoon and bring mixture to a boil.

Simmer gently about 10 minutes. It should thicken a bit.

Add the drained fruit, and simmer another 10 minutes. Set aside.

In a heavy, preheated skillet with a bit of oil or clarified butter, brown the chicken  breasts 1 minute on each side.

Transfer to shallow baking dish (1 layer of chicken) and spoon the fruit mixture over and around the chicken.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

When chicken comes out of oven, slice it across in about ½ " slices while it's in the pan and spoon fruit sauce over it. Serve immediately.

(Preheated plates or platters with sauce spooned over would be easiest, rather than individual casseroles; in any case the chicken needs to be sliced, diagonally in about half-inch pieces, otherwise each person may take a half-pound portion and we'll only be able to feed 30!)

Notes: This recipe feeds about 4. If you double it as we did for the seder meal, you may not need to double the brown sugar and the dry sherry; it seemed sweet enough. IF you buy chicken breast tenders, smaller pieces that were on sale at the local market as we did for Maundy Thursday, you don't need to slice across the chicken breasts, because they are already in serving size pieces. Also, the smaller tenders will be cooked in slightly less time. Feel free to adjust according to your instincts! Serve with rice or couscous.
