Service for 4 - 6 people

The more traditional version of this recipe uses a whole roasted chicken, with foie gras placed between the skin and meat. Our version is less fatty, using boneless, skinless chicken breasts stuffed with pate, but it is just a tasty and takes less time to prepare and serve. The sauce is made of ground walnuts, tomatoes, onions and brandy.

Ingredients:

• 4-6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 5 oz. Chicken Pate
• 1/3 cup Raisins
• 1 Clove Garlic
• 1/2 cup Walnuts
• 2 Sprigs Parsley
• 1 White or Yellow Onion
• 1 Tsp. Flour
• 1 cup Chicken Broth
• 2 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
• 2 Tbsp Brandy
• Salt and Pepper

Prepare Chicken and Dish:

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Oil the bottom of a large (13” x 9”) glass baking dish. Position rack in middle of oven. Heat the oven to 325F degrees.

Stuff the Breasts and Bake:

Coarsely chop the raisins and mince the garlic.
