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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
