Seared Chicken with Apricot Prune Puree

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine prunes, apricots, and orange juice and let soak for at least 30 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree.

4. Cut chicken into medium slices, place on a serving plate, and top with the shallot-,-dried fruit mixture. Serve immediately.
