If you love plums, this recipe is for you! I combine the fruit with chicken tenders for a quick, easy and flavorful meal. Serve with brown rice or orzo pasta.
Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1-1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups sliced fresh plums
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup apple jelly
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Directions
Combine garlic salt and lemon pepper; sprinkle mixture over chicken. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken. Add plums and red onion; cook and stir 1-2 minutes.
Reduce heat. Stir in next 5 ingredients. Mix cornstarch and wine until smooth; gradually stir into pan. Cook, covered, until chicken juices run clear and plums are tender, about 10 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
