CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat the butter and saute the onion, garlic, and ginger until the onion is soft, but not brown. Add the curry powder and chiles, stirring so that they do not stick or burn. Add the vinegar. There should be enough to make a smooth paste.(You may need up to 1/4 cup more vinegar.) Cover the chicken pieces with the paste and place them in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken pieces to marinate for at least 2 hours. When ready to cook, place the chicken pieces in a large frying pan and add enough water to reconstitute the paste and prevent scorching. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. (You may find that you will have to add more water to prevent scorching.) After 30 minutes, add the potatoes, cover and continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and chicken are done.

SKILLET CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Rub the chicken breast halves with the curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken to the hot pan, smooth-side down, and cook 7 to 8 minutes.
• 2. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the apples, raisins, and chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
• 3. Return the chicken to the skillet, cooked-side up. Transfer to the oven and bake until the chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• 4. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Set the skillet over medium-high heat, add the cream, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Taste, season with salt, and stir in a bit of honey, if you like the sauce sweeter. Slice the chicken at an angle and serve topped with some sauce and the almonds.
