Chicken in a Chocolate Sauce image

This recipe is adapted from "the Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking" which has been around forever. I like the interesting mix of ingredients. It is reminiscent of a mole but much more simple and not spicy. It called for a whole disjointed chicken which I have replaced with chicken breasts. If you use boneless chicken breasts you will need to watch the cooking time as it will cook faster. I liked Recipe #248470 with this dish.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 ounce bitter chocolate (half cube)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup blanched almonds, chopped or 1/2 cup sliced almonds, crushed
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup raisins
12 prunes, pitted
whole almond, and
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix flour and salt and pepper. Adjust to taste as I just guessed on the measurements. Place in plastic bag and dredge breasts in it.
  • Heat oil in a skillet and add chicken. Brown on both sides. Remove chicken to oven proof dish, preferably one with a lid.
  • Add 2 Tbs flour or some of the dredging flour to pan drippings. Cook until browned, stirring constantly. Add stock gradually; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  • Blend in chocolate and stir until melted. Add cinnamon and salt and pepper if needed. Stir in remaining ingredients (not garnish) and pour over chicken.
  • Bake, covered, in preheated 325 F oven for 45 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and blanched whole almonds.
