How to Make Apple Curry Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 1-quart round baking dish.
- Arrange 4 (6-ounce) uncooked chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Brush the juice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Peel 2 medium apples (optional), then cut lengthwise into quarters. Remove stems, cores, and seeds.
- Chop the apples into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Chop 1 medium onion coarsely and add it to the bowl with the apples.
- Stir in 1 cup croutons, 1/2 cup raisins, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Toss the apple-onion mixture with 3/4 cup apple juice.
- Spread the crouton mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the foil or lid during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the topping to brown slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro (optional) before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
