Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 kumquats
1 large shallot
2 boneless chicken breast halves with skin*
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 cups packed spinach leaves (from about 1 bunch)
*available by request from butcher

Steps:

  • Separately cut kumquats and shallot crosswise into thin slices, discarding any kumquat seeds. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté chicken, skin sides down, until skin is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook over moderate heat until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm, covered.
  • Add shallot to fat remaining in skillet and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Sprinkle sugar over shallot and cook, undisturbed, until sugar is melted and golden. Immediately stir in kumquats, water, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in parsley and salt to taste and, if sauce is too liquid, simmer until thickened to desired consistency, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer two thirds sauce to a small bowl and to remainder add spinach and salt to taste, turning with tongs until just wilted.
  • Divide spinach between 2 plates and top with chicken. Spoon sauce over chicken.

I'm not a fan of kumquats, so I substituted oranges in the sauce. It turned out great!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kumquat sauce didn't turn out very well. It was too thick and syrupy.
