Spanish Style Chicken Grilled With Raisin Wine Sauce Recipes

SPANISH STYLE CHICKEN (GRILLED WITH RAISIN WINE SAUCE)

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally so the vegetables soften without browning.
• Stir in flour and continue cooking an additional 2 minutes.
• Stir in the broth and wine and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until it begins to thicken.
• And add the lemon juice, bay leaves, pepper, thyme, salt and raisins. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
• Mix together the olive oil, garlic, thyme and pepper so that it creates a paste. Cut chicken into ½ inch strips. Toss the chicken strips with the seasoning paste and grill about three minutes or so until cooked.
