Saucy Peachy Chicken With Honey




Saucy peachy chicken
I love sweet.  Anything sweet.  This sweet peach chicken recipe is very good.  It hit the spot with brown rice and sauteed broccoli along with it. Simple, and easy, try it tonight.

Dredge about 4 chicken breast halves in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper and paprika.  Brown the chicken in a good olive oil.

Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine the following:  
1 c orange juice
1 1/2 c sliced peaches (fresh organic, if not try frozen)
2 T honey

2 T vinegar
1 t nutmeg
1 t basil
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Heat mixture over medium heat, reduce to low and simmer for 10 minutes.  Remove chicken when it is brown and place into the peach mixture and cover and simmer until cooked through, about 20 - 25 minutes.

Smells and looks like a cobbler cooking!

I have lately enjoyed reading a blogger at www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com.  There is a great blog about concerns of not eating certain veggies raw.  Her reasons seem valid and with good evidence to back her up.  What I like is that she is a traditional foods person who encourages the use of good fats and organic foods in cooking.  I also love that she uses lots of butter--good, real butter (not margarine or anything fake and processed).  I personally do not believe that good fats contribute to obesity problems, so I am all for putting the butter in the pan and cooking up my veggies in it.  Check it out at : http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/2010/10/think-raw-veggies-are-best-think-again/

Hope you all are keeping warm!
