Almond Crusted Chicken with Tomato Citrus Sauce recipe

6 servings

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 cups roma (plum) tomatoes, diced

1 cup diced orange wedges

1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary

1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup ground almonds

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon curry powder

1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup clarified butter

Instructions:

To Make Sauce: Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Saute garlic for 2 minutes, then add the tomato, orange, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper and stir together.

Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes; remove cover and let sauce reduce for an additional 15 minutes.

Set aside and keep warm.

To Make Crusted Chicken: In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the almonds, flour, cumin, curry powder, turmeric, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Coat breasts in flour mixture and fry in a large skillet with 1/4 cup oil and clarified butter for about 5 to 7 minutes each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (juices run clear).

When ready to serve, place chicken on a platter and top with warm sauce; do this right before serving, to retain crispiness of the chicken.
