Seared Chicken with Rosemary Fig Sauce

This recipe is delicious. It cooks in about 15 minutes, has few ingredients, but is packed with flavor. It is a great dish to serve to company. I served it on the deck last night to rave reviews and was then rewarded with a lovely sunset.

Seared Chicken with Rosemary Fig Sauce

4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 6 oz ea

1/2 tsp each salt, pepper and garlic powder

Butter flavored cooking spray

2/3 C Fig all fruit spread

1 Tb Rosemary - fresh, minced

1/4 C port or other sweet wine

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Combine the 3 spices and season chicken on both sides and coat the chicken with cooking spray. Brown chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. In a small bowl whisk together remaining ingredients and pour into the pan with the chicken. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Uncover and cook for another minute to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Plate the chicken and serve with the sauce drizzled over.

Easy Recipes for Prosciutto Appetisers

My friend Agustina is finally going to come over this weekend to see my house and try out our new deck. This will be our first time entertaining in our new home and I am excited that they are coming. I was thinking what to serve and thought might do three simple appetisers made with prociutto; Prosciutto with Grissini, Prosciutto Wrapped Melon and Dates with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto. Thy these and let me know what you think. As a fourth choice, you migh consider prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

Prosciutto with Grissini

Grissini are Italian breadsticks. Thin and crispy, the breadsticks really highlight the buttery flavor of the prociutto.

12 Grissini

6 Slices Prosciutto, halved crosswise.

Wrap prosciutto around one end of each breadstick, overlapping to make it stick and leaving the over half of the breadstick exposed to work as a convenient handle. Stack on a platter until serving time.

Prosciutto Wrapped Melon

1/2 Cantloupe, cut into 1 inch cubes

3 oz Prosciutto, sliced paper thin

Wrap melon chunks in prosciutto and chill until serving time.

Dates with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto

12 Medjool dates

3 oz Prosciutto, sliced paper thin and halved crosswise

3 oz Goat cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pit the dates, slice them open and stuff each with 1 TB goat cheese. Close the dates, wrap it with prosciutto, securing with a toothpick. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and bake until heated through and prosciutto is crispy - about 8 minutes.
