Chicken L'Indienne

A good one for dinner parties, since everyone can customize as they wish. My lovely friend Kirsten made this for our bookclub a few years ago and was kind enough to share the recipe.

2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon curry
1 teaspoon oregano
3-4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup cream
1/2 cup sour cream
for serving: shredded coconut, salted peanuts or cashews, golden raisins, chopped scallions, diced banana/banana chips, chopped cucumbers, diced apple/green apple, diced tomatoes etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, celery salt, curry and oregano in a large ziploc bag. Add chicken pieces and shake to coat. Melt butter in a large skillet and saute chicken pieces until lightly browned. Transfer to a casserole dish and add the cream. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and stir in sour cream, then cover again and bake for 10 more minutes.

*I serve over basmati rice with lots and lots of warm naan. This serves about 4 people, so double it if you want leftovers. You can prep the chicken ahead of time.
