STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST IN CURRY SAUCE OVER ROASTED POTATOES AND CAULIFLOWER
Steps:
- Potatoes and cauliflower:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- On a large baking sheet toss together the cauliflower, potatoes, chervil, raisins, olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a bowl and set aside.
- Chicken: In a blender or food processor, combine the grapes, walnuts and dates and blend until smooth.
- Put the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and, using a meat mallet, pound the chicken until evenly flat and thin. Remove the top sheet of plastic. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the grape mixture between the chicken breasts, topping each piece with about 2 tablespoons of the filling. Using the plastic as your guide, roll up the chicken around the filling.
- Put the flour, eggs and bread crumbs in separate dishes. Season the bread crumbs with the garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Dip the chicken rolls into the flour, coating completely, then into the egg and finally into the bread crumbs. Chicken should be coated completely with each step of the breading process.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Pan fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides, turning after a few minutes on each side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Curry sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes then whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
- Remove the chicken from the oven to a cutting board and slice. Spoon a bed of potatoes and cauliflower on each serving plate and top with curry sauce.
CRAB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CURRY SAUCE
Boneless chicken breasts are pounded thin and then packed with sweet crab meat stuffing, baked with a creamy curry sauce and finished with a melted cheese topping. I love this rich, elegant dish because I can make it ahead of time and then just easily slip it into the oven 50 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan over medium-low heat and cook the onion, celery, and grated carrot until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the parsley, wine, crab, cayenne and bread crumbs, mixing to combine well.
- Sprinkle the flattened chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place pounded chicken"shiny" side down on a cutting board.
- (When rolling the breast over a filling, the chicken holds together better when the skinned side is on the outside.) Divide the crab filling between the 6 chicken breasts, placing the filling at one side.
- Roll up the breasts, tucking in the ends like an fat egg roll.
- Don't worry if the ends are open a little bit, the filling won't leak out during baking.

- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, then stir in the 3 tablespoons flour and the curry powder and salt.
- Cook stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Add the milk and wine and simmer until mixture thickens, stirring constantly.
- The sauce should be of a fairly thick consistency, not thin and runny.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
- Divide 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs over the breasts and dot with the 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Bake uncovered, at 375 degrees, for 45 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the grated cheese and bake for another 4 minutes or until cheese melts.
- Remove the chicken to a serving platter and garnish each breast with the chopped tomato and minced parsley.
