Yield: 4 people
Materials
- 4 4 ounces Pheasant breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon shallot or onion chopped
- 2 tablespoon Pritikin® All-Purpose Seasoning* devided
- 1/4 cup bordeaux wine

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine rosemary, sage, garlic, shallots, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning.

- Before serving, top each breast with pearl onions and, if desired, cooked baby vegetables.
