Quick and Easy Chicken Veronique Ready in Minutes

If you are one of the busy working mothers or just cooks out there, I know how easy it is to slip into the habit of swinging through a fast food drive-thru window on the way home.  But that is not the best thing for your family, especially not on a regular basis.  It really is possible to prepare quick, healthy meals at home in a matter of minutes and with minimum cleanup.  So break the fast food habit, get your family involved helping you in the kitchen and start preparing more meals at home.  This Quick and Easy Chicken Veronique recipe is a good place to start. QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN VERONIQUE 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp nutmeg 4 tsp butter 2/3 cup white wine or chicken broth 2 tbsp orange marmalade 3/4 tsp dried tarragon 2 tsp all-purpose flour 1/2 cup half-and-half cream 1 1/2 cups green grapes, halved Sprinkle the salt and nutmeg over the chicken breast halves. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Melt butter in skillet and add the chicken pieces. Cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes per side until lightly browned. In a small bowl, combine the wine or chicken broth, marmalade and tarragon. Add the mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 7 to 11 minutes until the chicken juices run clear. Remove the chicken and keep it warm. Combine the flour and half-and-half until smooth. Slowly stir the cream mixture into the skillet. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the grapes and heat through. Serve sauce over the chicken. Note: This recipe is great for diabetics as 1 breast half with 1/3 cup sauce = 226 calories, 13 g carbs and 24 g protein. Enjoy!

Coffee Bean Species and Varieties
The coffee beans we grind and use to brew coffee come from the Coffea evergreen bush, grown in over 50 countries around the globe. Each year, the Coffee bush flowers and develops a cherry-like fruit, inside which are typically two small seeds or coffee beans. There are 10 different species of Coffea bush, the first of which was discovered in Ethiopia some thousands of years ago. Once man discovered the coffee bean, its cultivation and use spread to the Middle East, Europe, Asia and beyond. Today, much of the coffee we drink is made from beans that were grown in Latin America, Western Africa, Indonesia and the Philippines, and continental southeastern Asia. Two species of coffee bean -- Coffea Arabica and Canephora -- constitute more than 90 percent of the coffee beans sold on the international market. Depending on the region, species of coffee, roasting, and preparation, coffee beans can infuse a cup of coffee with a variety of flavors and textures.
