I love my Chicken book because it was my Mom’s and I am going to try every single recipe in it. Hey… I said TRY (smile)
YES, I changed it to “my liking”…. change it to yours or leave it the way it is.
This is good served with rice, tossed salad and rolls.
This recipe is for SIX pieces of chicken (your choice)
Chicken with Currants
1-1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper to season the flour
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs oil of your choice
1/2 cup slivered toasted almonds
1/2 cup currants ( or raisins but try to get currants)
1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Zest of one orange
2 cloves garlic run through a garlic press or minced as small as you can.
2-1/2 cups orange juice
Preheat the oven 350 degrees
Prepare your seasoned flour in in bowl.
Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour shaking each piece very well. Set them aside on a plate until all pieces are coated LIGHTLY.
In a frying pan on the stove heat the butter oil.
Place a couple pieces of chicken in the pan and brown. Do not crowd the chicken, cook in batches if your pan is too small.
After the chicken is browned, put it all in a casserole or baking pan.
Add the almonds, currants or raisins, pineapple with juice, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest.
Mix the pressed garlic and the orange juice together, and pour on top of chicken.
Bake for about one hour until the chicken is tender and cooked completely.
