I call this Candy's Chicken after a girlfriend who gave this to me many years ago - it is a family favorite. You could dip your chicken in an egg wash first before coating the chicken with bread crumbs but I omit that step to save calories and the recipe tastes just as good. Good luck saving some for leftovers! Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts (about 4 halves) |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or enough to coat the chicken) |
1 tablespoon oil |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/4 cup water |
1 lemon, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Dip chicken into bread crumbs, coating all sides.
3. In a large frying pan, melt butter and oil over medium high heat. Saute chicken until browned on all sides. Remove from heat and place in a greased (or Pam'd) baking dish.
4. Sprinkle raisins over chicken.
5. Blend syrup with water, pour over chicken.
6. Top with lemon slices.
7. Bake uncovered 45 minutes or until done.
