Ingredients

1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1 broiler chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds, cut into 12 pieces
1/4 cup butter
1 medium-size onion, diced
1 medium-size green pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 16-ounce can stewed tomatoes
3 tablespoons currants
1/3 cup blanched toasted almonds

Steps:

Combine flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Coat chicken pieces with flour and place on waxed paper. In a large skillet over medium heat melt butter, then add chicken and cook until evenly browned. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Reduce skillet heat to low. Add onion, green pepper, garlic, curry powder and thyme to skillet. Scrape bits from bottom of pan. Add tomatoes, and return chicken to skillet.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, then add currants and cook 5 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked. If sauce gets too thick, thin with 1/4 cup of water. Serve with almonds and steamed rice.
