This recipe was adapted by me from a housewife's kitchen guide published in 1594! The sauce is slightly sweet, but very good.

2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
½ cup chicken stock
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
4 pitted prunes
4 pitted dates
½ cup dried currants
½ teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
½ teaspoon ground mace
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon rose water
¾ cup white wine

Directions

Place chicken stock in a large saucepan over high heat. Add oranges, prunes, dates, currants and cloves and boil until the fruit has broken down a bit, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Brown chicken in a large skillet until lightly browned on both sides; add reserved sauce and cook together, turning and basting, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 20 to 25 minutes.
