The intense, sweet flavor and chewy texture of dried fruit is highlighted by curry and other flavorings in this simple entree. Leftover dried fruit may be sprinkled over cereal or tossed in pilafs or stuffings. Remember that a little goes a long way–although low in fat, dried fruit is higher in calories than fresh fruit.
INGREDIENTS
| 6 | skinless chicken breasts (2-1/4 pounds) |
| 1 | cup mixed diced dried fruit |
| 1/2 | cup chopped onion (about 1 small) |
| 1/4 | cup chopped chutney |

| 1 | to 1-1/2 teaspoons curry powder |
| 1 | teaspoon ground cumin |

| 1/4 | teaspoon ground allspice |
| 2‑1/2 | cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth |
| 1/2 | cup dry sherry or apple juice |
| 3 | cups hot cooked rice or couscous |
PREPARATION:

- Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake about 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
