Parmesan-Crusted Chicken With Leeks And Apples
- Cooking spray
- 2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped peeled Braeburn or Gala apple (about 1 pound)
- 1 2/3 cups thinly sliced leek (about 2 small)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon butter or stick margarine
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1 (16-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups hot cooked wild rice mix (such as Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice )
- Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add apple, leek, and sugar; saute 12 minutes or until browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
- Combine cheese, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in cheese mixture. Heat butter in pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; saute 4 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add juice and broth to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook broth mixture until reduced to 1 1/2 cups (about 7 minutes).
- Add cream; reduce heat, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in reserved apple mixture, rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 2 minutes. Spoon rice onto each of 4 plates; top with chicken and sauce.
