Featured Entree
Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Pomegranate Sauce

4 8oz. Boneless skinless breasts
salt and pepper
1 cup flour
4 tbsp. Vegetable oil
1 cup white wine
1 large shallot minced
2 cups pomegranate juice
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Corn Starch
1 Tbsp. Cold water

In a large skillet heat oil over a medium/high flame. Meanwhile, season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Flour the breasts patting away any excess flour. Sauté the breasts in the hot oil, until golden brown. Transfer them to a baking dish and place them, uncovered into a preheated 350 degree oven to finish cooking for 10-15 minutes.

In the same skillet deglaze the pan with the wine and add the minced shallot. Cook the shallot and the wine until the wine is reduced by one half to one fourth. Add the pomegranate juice and sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water and add it to the boiling juice. Reduce the heat and simmer briefly. Strain the sauce through a chinois or a fine sieve. Cover with plastic wrap and keep warm until ready to serve.
