INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
  • 1/4 cup chopped raisins

DIRECTIONS

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Melt butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat and brown on both sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Stir brown sugar, cornstarch and allspice into skillet; gradually stir in water. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until mixture is smooth and thick. Stir in orange juice, bourbon and raisins.
