Chicken with Fruit Chutney on a bed of Spaghetti Squash

So this pretty meal is absolutely refreshing and yummy.  Tonight we had a nice chicken breast with a fruit chutney served on a bed of spaghetti squash...The combo of apples, pears, cherries and nuts was a nice change for this family.






Chicken w/Fruit & Nut Chutney
Serves 4


4 chicken breast
salt & pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup dried cherries
2 apples, cored and sliced
1 pear, cored and sliced
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
4 tsp of brown sugar
1 cup water
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp ground ginger

1) Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

2) In a large skillet, heat oil and cook chicken over medium heat until cooked through about 12 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a serving platter; cover, keep warm.

3) Add fruit and nuts to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. For sauce, in a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, water, vinegar, and ginger. Add to the fruit in the skillet; cook and stir 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Serve chicken with sauce on top.

VERDICT: Yum...it may not be 100% clean but it's yummy and different.  Next time I will add a little corn starch to thicken up the sauce a little bit.  The kids loved the fruit.
