- The recipe comes originally from \fIElegant Meals with Inexpensive Meats\fR,
- by Ortho Books.

- .SK 1
- Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and nutmeg. Brown lightly in heated
- butter in a large frying pan.
- .SK 2
- Add marmalade, tarragon, green onion and wine.
- Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- .SK 3
- Add grapes, cover again and
- continue cooking about 10 minutes longer, until chicken is cooked through
- (test with a small sharp knife in thickest part).
- .SK 4
- Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken and grapes to a warm serving dish;
- keep warm. Add cream to liquid in pan. Bring to boiling, stirring, and
- cook until reduced and slightly thickened. Salt to taste. Pour sauce over
- chicken.
- .NX
- (WT) I use a whole cut up chicken.
- .br
- (CSR) I like to cook the chicken in a black cast-iron pan and
- serve after step 3. I skip the
- cream sauce, because it smothers the beautiful black-green-red-orange-tan
- colors.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 30 minutes.
- .I Precision:
