Ingredients

Squash:

  • 4 sunburst or pattypan squash, sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 sprig fresh mint
  • 1 sprig fresh basil

Chicken:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Pepper puree:

Directions

Squash: Put the squash slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt, toss to coat. Put a heavy bowl on top to press down the squash and let sit for 30 minutes. Drain the squash, rinse and dry it completely. Fill a deep saute pan with 1-inch of canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and deep-fry the squash slices until golden brown. Remove the squash to paper towels to drain. Put the squash into a large jar or bowl and add the citrus juices, garlic, honey, mint sprigs and basil. Set aside.

Chicken: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Brown both sides of the chicken, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan then deglaze the pan with wine and reduce until most of wine is cooked off. Add the orange juice, lemon juice and broth and reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Pepper puree: Add the olive oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the red pepper and saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a blender and add the chicken broth. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Arrange 1 chicken breast on each plate with a few slices of the squash. Top with some the red pepper puree and serve.

    This was great!

    I omitted the squash & served steam-in-bag green beans.

    I added garlic, paprika, cayenne, and red pepper flake to the sauteeing peppers, since vegetable purees can taste a little one-dimensional, & it came out great: no blatant fire, just a pleasant, slowly building warmth.

    My one complaint about the recipe is that it doesn't say what to do with the pan sauce. I served each sauce separately, & everyone agreed they tasted great mixed together.

    Next time I'll combine the 2 sauces before serving.

    If you omit the squash, I suggest replacing it with another starch. The dish needs something to sop up the delicious sauce, like roast potatoes or tostones (twice-fried plantains. Something with some crunch to it.

    If anyone knows what I was supposed to do with the pan sauce, please let me know! I'll feel silly if if I just missed it, but at least I'd finally know!

    This was very good and fun to make. I pulsed
    the squash in my Cuisinart for a little texture
    and would probably bake the squash next time instead
    of frying them to make it healthier.
