How to Make Apple Curry Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 1-quart round baking dish.
  3. Arrange 4 (6-ounce) uncooked chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Brush the juice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  6. Peel 2 medium apples (optional), then cut lengthwise into quarters. Remove stems, cores, and seeds.
  7. Chop the apples into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
  8. Chop 1 medium onion coarsely and add it to the bowl with the apples.
  9. 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.
  10. Toss the apple-onion mixture with 3/4 cup apple juice.
  11. Spread the crouton mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  12. Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid.
  13. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  14. Remove the foil or lid during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the topping to brown slightly.
  15. 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!
