2 tablespoons raisins
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 small ripe tomatoes, skinned, seeded, and chopped (skin reserved for garnish)
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
2 Sicilian green olives, pitted and chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
Tomato skin made into 4 rose flowers, for garnish
Place raisins in a small dish. Add wine and set aside.
Place chicken between 2 sheets plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper; dredge in flour.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove chicken and add onion and garlic to pan. Saute for about 2 minutes; then add oregano, remaining salt and pepper, sugar and vinegar. Stir in tomatoes, capers and olives. Add raisins to sauce and stir in chicken broth; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan and heat through.
Arrange chicken and sauce on serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Garnish with tomato roses.

Awesome recipe! I didn't bother with pounding or flouring, dredging chicken. Instead, I just used chicken tenderloins, cut up in chunks, & cooked in olive oil until browned. I made the sauce as the recipe instructs, & then threw the chunks of cooked chicken in at the end. I thickened the sauce with a little cornstarch & water. I then served all this over linguine. It was fantastic! My husband, who is a picky eater, even liked this dish. I will definitely add this recipe to my rotation of favorite recipes.

I found this recipe to be great. I made it after work one day. It did not take me long to make it and it turned out great. I served it with some couscous and my boyfriend loved it. I left some for my sister and a friend to eat the next day and the friend wanted the recipe. I am always looking for new recipes and this one is a definite keeper.

This was such a wonderful dish. It is sweet & salty at the same time. The whole family loved it. I raided the fridge in the middle of the night for the leftovers. The raisins are to die for!
