CURRY CHICKEN DINNER
This chicken dish was originated by a woman from our town, Mrs. W.L. Bullard, for a special party in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. I really enjoy treating out-of-town relatives and friends to this dish when they come to visit.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Toast the bread until light golden brown on both sides. Trim the toast using a 4-inch round cookie cutter and using a pastry brush, lightly coat 1 side of each toast with 1/2 teaspoon of the melted butter. Set aside on a wire rack to crisp. Reserve trimmed crusts and crumble into coarse bread crumbs to be used as garnish.
- In a large nonstick skillet or saute pan sear the ham slices until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
- Set aside.
- Season each chicken breast with 1/4 teaspoon of the Essence and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In the already hot large skillet or saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the chicken and sear until lightly colored, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and cook until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
- While the chicken breasts are finishing in the oven, make the pan sauce: Return the skillet to medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the fat and juices remaining in the pan. When the butter is foamy, add the shallots, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and herbes de Provence and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, wine, and tomatoes; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the wine is reduced, about 1 minute. Add the stock, return to the boil, and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, about 8 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream, stir, and place the chicken breasts in the pan. Top each chicken breast with a piece of ham and baste with the sauce; continue to cook until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and swirl in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, a piece or 2 at a time. Remove from the heat, adjust the seasoning to taste, and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
- To serve, place 1 toast round in the center of 4 large plates and place 1 ham-topped chicken breast on top. Drizzle each portion with the sauce, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and the reserved bread crumbs and serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

DINNER PARTY CHICKEN CURRY
Adapted from a 1974 Woman's Day magazine clipping tucked into my Great Aunt's recipe files. The clipping is splotched and well worn, a good sign that this was tried & enjoyed. This recipe has instructions designed for a dinner party - you prepare the curry earlier in the day, keep it ready in the fridge until shortly before your guests arrive (the earlier in the day part takes about and hour to cook, the final cooking takes 1 hours and 15 minutes, plus the time it takes to preheat your oven).

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken curry. Look for free-range, organic chicken, and use a variety of fresh vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: There are many different ways to make chicken curry, so don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and flavors. Try adding cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, and garlic to your curry for a classic Indian flavor. Or, try using curry powder, garam masala, and fenugreek for a more complex flavor.
- Cook the chicken until it is tender: Chicken curry is best when the chicken is cooked until it is tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. To ensure that your chicken is cooked properly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken curry with rice or naan: Chicken curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good choice for absorbing the delicious sauce, while naan is a great way to scoop up the chicken and vegetables.
Conclusion:
Chicken curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, chicken curry is a perfect meal for a dinner party or a weeknight meal. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy chicken, give chicken curry a try. You won't be disappointed.
