Chicken Roll-ups
2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 pieces)
3 tsp unsalted margarine
2 Tbs finely chopped onion
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
2 Tbs dry white wine (optional)
2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp grated orange peel (orange part only)
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel (yellow part only)
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Dash of ground nutmeg
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
2 Tbs bread crumbs
Pound chicken breast halves to approximately 1/4 in. (5 mm) thickness. Melt 1 tsp margarine in a small skillet over moderate heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft but not brown. Stir in sweet potato, optional wine, honey, lemon and orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper and heat through.
Divide mixture between 4 breasts halves, roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place roll-ups seam side down in a shallow baking dish. Cover and bake at 400F (200C) for 20 minutes until chicken is tender. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tsp. margarine in a small saucepan. Sprinkle the cooked roll-ups with the bread crumbs, drizzle the melted margarine over them, and brown under the broiler.
