Chicken Breasts with Cherry/Currant Chipotle Sauce
Today's Daily Plate is a feast for the heat lover. It features grilled organic chicken breasts with a cherry/currant chipotle sauce. For side dishes there were Jalapeno Cheesy Brown Rice and Bush's maple beans.
We buy organic chicken breasts because they are completely trimmed and cleaned, free of any hormones or other unnatural chemicals and more tender than average chicken breasts (which I'm convinced die of natural causes). Of course, organic chicken breasts cost as much as sirloin steak, but are worth it!
For today's plate, I sprinkled the chicken with a Montreal steak seasoning and grilled it on the gas grill. The cherry/currant chipotle sauce was a reduction using Knudson's black cherry juice and black currant juice, garlic, onions, chipotle pepper powder and other spices. It was marvelous!
The cheesy jalapeno brown rice included sauteed jalapenos and celery mixed in with brown rice and a can of Rotel original. Then I chopped up a few ounces of mozzarella cheese into small cubes and stirred it into the hot rice. The beans were Bush's Maple beans, and Duke isn't giving away the recipe.
Based on the fact that there was not one bite of anything left at the end of the meal, I'm guessing it was a real hit.

Ok, now I'm not a big veggie eater, however I will say that Bob Harper would tell you real quick that problem #1 with your plate is lack of color. The more natural color on your plate, the healthier it will be. let that marinate.
ReplyDeleteI however, think it looks perfect. Refer to the first part of sentence #1.
Yes, agreed. The greenery, such as it was, is mixed up in the rice. I added celery and jalapeno peppers to the rice for greens. But, much improvement in the vegetable arena is needed.
