Cumin And Mustard Roasted Chicken With Fruit

• 1 Whole organic chicken, backbone removed, cut into 8 pieces, extra skin and fat trimmed
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• Salt
• Pepper, fresh ground
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1/2 cup Dry white wine
• 16-18 slices of mixed dried fruit - apricots, peaches, pears, apples and prunes
• 1-2 tablespoons Chopped Italian parsley for garnish
• 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1. Preheat oven to 450u0b0F.
2. Prepare chicken if your butcher hasn't pre-cut it. Wash and dry the chicken pieces and trim off all fat and extra skin. Salt and pepper the side with the skin.
3. In a skillet, warm olive oil and butter on medium high heat. Swirl to combine, and when butter stops sizzling, place the chicken in the skillet, seasoned side down, to brown and crisp skin for 3 - 4 minutes. While that side is browning, season the top side with salt, pepper and cumin.
4. After the first side is nicely browned, turn chicken pieces over and brown the other side for 2 minutes. Add white wine and spread mustard on top of each piece.
5. Place 2 pieces of dried fruit on top of each lightly mustard-coated piece. Put 2 - 3 pieces of fruit on each of the breasts, depending on the size of the fruit. You want to essentially cover the top of the chicken.
6. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 15 - 18 minutes. Check doneness with a thermometer; it should read 160 to 165 degrees.
7. Remove chicken pieces to a platter, keeping the fruit on top. Pour any juices left in the skillet on top of the chicken.
8. Let rest for 10 minutes, sprinkle chopped parsley on top, and serve with love.
