"Chicken breasts coated in an almond seasoned flour and sauteed, then

Elegant and unique enough for guests, tasty enough for down home
cookin'!"

yield: 6 servings.

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

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.
