Light chicken dish with a taste of Sicily. Great for the busy individual who wants a meal in 30 minutes or less.

Added to favorites by 5 cooks
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 6 scallions diced finely
- 5 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 3 tablespoons crushed pineapple
- 1/2 cup sherry or dry white wine
- 1 (13 ounce) package cappelini (angel hair) pasta
- 1 pound fresh baby asparagus, trimmed
Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins1.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir, add the chicken breasts. Brown on one side for 4 minutes, then turn and brown for another 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
2.
Add all the fruit and stir, cooking on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the chicken once. Add the sherry and cook until reduced by half, about 5 or 6 minutes.
3.
While cooking the chicken, bring 4 to 6 quarts of lightly salted water to a rapid boil. When the chicken has about 4 minutes to go, add the cappelini to the water and boil for 5 minutes to cook al dente.
4.
With 10 minutes remaining on the chicken, place asparagus in a microwavable dish. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover with paper towel and microwave on High for 4 minutes. The asparagus will still have a snap to it when finished.
5.
To plate the dish, add 1/4 of the pasta to each dish, leaving room for asparagus. Place a chicken breast on pasta mound and ladle 1/4 of the fruit sauce on each. Fan the asparagus next to the chicken and drizzle with olive oil, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with white wine, like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. If it is a night to cheat on diets, then serve with a little toasted french bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.

Easy
I didn't follow the directions that well due to being "cooking challenged". I didn't see the Mandarin Oranges on the list, so just put some O.J. in while it was reducing. It turned out well...I should have drizzled asparagus with olive oil or balsamic to give it some flavor.
