Ingredients
-
2 large
bananas, cut into pieces
-
2 tablespoons
curry powder
-
2 teaspoons
ground coriander
-
1 teaspoon
dry mustard
-
3 tablespoons
butter
-
1
lime, zest of, grated
-
4 teaspoons
lime juice
-
1 1/4 teaspoons
salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
fresh ground black pepper
-
3/4 cup
water, more if needed
-
4
bone-in skinless chicken breasts
( about 2 1/4 pounds in all)
-
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Heat the oven to 450°. In a food processor or blender, puree the bananas, curry powder, coriander, dry mustard, butter, lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the water.
- Make a few deep cuts in each chicken breast and put the breasts in a roasting pan. Pour the curry sauce over the chicken, making sure the sauce gets into the cuts. Roast in the bottom third of the oven until the chicken is just done, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven and remove the chicken breasts from the pan. There should be plenty of thick sauce in the bottom of the pan. Set the pan over moderate heat and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup water. Continue to whisk until the sauce is heated through, adding more water if you want a thinner sauce. Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce over them. Sprinkle with parsley if you like.
- Serve with steamed rice.
