This chicken dish was originated by a woman from our town, Mrs. W.L. Bullard, for a special party in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. I really enjoy treating out-of-town relatives and friends to this dish when they come to visit.

Ingredients

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 medium green peppers, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons raisins or dried currants
  • Hot cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, optional

Directions

  1. Dust chicken with flour. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the chicken in shortening. Remove chicken and set aside. Saute onions, peppers and garlic in drippings for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add curry powder, salt and pepper; mix well. Return chicken to the pan. Add tomatoes, parsley, thyme, and water. Cover and bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until chicken is tender. Stir in raisins. Serve over rice; sprinkle with almonds if desired.
