When our Sundays are not inundated with family gatherings, my husband and I like to try out new recipes. We made this one today and it is deeeeelicious, even if not too authentic.
1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
Salt & Pepper
3 boneless whole chicken breast halved
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
2 red peppers seeded and diced
3 tablespoons best quality curry powder
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can cream of coconut
a dash of Tabasco sauce
a dash of Worcester sauce
1/2 cup currants
Gather up all the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Seed and dice the red peppers.
Season the flour with S&P and lightly coat chicken with mixture. Heat 3 Tbl. butter in a skillet over medium heat, add chicken and lightly brown on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and preheat oven.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, peppers and sauté, stirring frequently until the veggies are soft (5-7 minutes).
Stir in curry powder and cook 2 minutes longer.
Stir in tomatoes and cream of coconut, heat to simmering and season with Worcester sauce, Tabasco and S&P to taste. Stir in currants & remove from heat. (we did not use currants)
Arrange the sautéed chicken in a casserole and pour the curry sauce over the chicken bake covered until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
We served this with a basmati rice. Yummy!!

Lordy that sounds good...and I have a can of cream of coconut...I'm definitely going to try this one. :-)
I'm salivating. That sounds delicious!
Can I bring the wine over?
:)
Yay!! I'm so glad you guys like!
Sideon, absolutely, darling! Anytime! :)
What about this one? Note, the recipe calls for lemoncello - a very lovely lemon liquor. You can cook with it AND sip it.
Cheers!

Sideon, THANK YOU!!! That sounds absolutely fabulous, I can't wait to try it. I've never had lemoncello before, I wonder if they'll have it at the Utah liquor stores?
Is this a trick or something? Is this enrichment night at relief society? I came here for comedy and blasphemy.
Just can't trust ANYone these days...
:)
teehee- Phoebe, you're so right! I need to get back to comedy and blasphemy, pronto. There are some mormon traits I can't get rid of. Wait. Stop. I cook a lot more now that I'm not mormon, so it doesn't really count!! Right??
Relief Society wouldn't know what to do with culture and REAL cooking if it crawled up their ass.
As IF they'd ever cook with alcohol. Jeebus, the most my delusional family would do was bbq hamburgers or steaks with a beer marinade. Of course, them being Jack Mo was exceptionally helpful.
Christy: we have friends that MAKE the lemoncello :) I'll see if I can find the recipe. It's total yummers, PLUS, our lemon tree has a ton of ripe lemons right now.
It's just that yesterday before I read your blog, some lady from the ward called. My husband shot a whispered warning to me that I should be nice to her because she's "really nice."
In her best primary president-come relief society voice, she invited me to an enrichment night, and asked me to bring my favorite recipe, and that this should be a lot of fun. I said that sounds "very nice," and I said it nicely.
But I'm not going.
Could you just SEE me there, Christy? With all these ladies who talk in sugary-sweet voices?
Oh -- is this your blog?
Sorry.
Sideon- Recipe, please?? And couldja send me some lemons? (I'm green with envy!)
Phoebe- ha! I'm sorry for laughing at your misery. No, I can't see you there. You are far too hip and cool to be there. I'll give you cultured recipes instead of casserole recipes, deal? (I never use cream of anything soup... just creamed coconut!)
"cream-of-anything-soup" -- LOL!
I need to one-up Andy Warhol on his Campbells portrait.
Whoa. That was wierd.
I haven't used that name in ages. I think my yahoo mail kicked it into blogger mode somehow.
