Chicken With Grapes, Lemon and Cream

Posting for Britain ZWT6. This was found on All British Food.com. Everyday chicken takes on a note of luxury, in this pretty dish with its garnish of seedless green grapes. The creamy sauce is well flavoured with lemon and herbs, and the recipe is ready in little more than 30 minutes from start to finish. I don't care for rosemary so thats why I added fresh herb of choice.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1  tablespoon  vegetable oil
• 1  lb chicken breast (boneless, skinned)
• 1⁄2 cup  chicken stock
• 1  lemon (lemon zest and juice of 1 lemon)
• 1  teaspoon fresh rosemary (or fresh herb of choice)
•  salt and pepper
• 5  fluid ounces half-and-half cream
• 8  ounces green grapes, halved and seedless

Directions

1. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, add the chicken and cook quickly until lightly browned on both sides.
2. Reduce the heat and add the stock, lemon rind and juice and rosemary. Season to taste, cover and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
3. Remove the chicken from the pan, cover and keep warm. Boil the cooking juices to reduce a little. Add the chicken, cream and grapes and heat through gently, then adjust seasoning.
4. Serve with noodles or boiled rice.
