4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup flour
 cup butter
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Preparation

1 Combine chicken and flour in a paper bag; shake to coat well. Remove chicken and shake off excess. Combine 1/3 cup butter, celery salt, curry powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat evenly. 2 Place in a large casserole dish; top with almonds. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, drain drippings, reserving 1/4 cup. Replace chicken in casserole dish. Combine reserved drippings and sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Mix well and pour over chicken. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and dot with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until golden.

This looks delicious!

I thought this sounded great, until I saw how long it's cooked-- an hour altogether for boneless skinless chicken breasts will turn them to shoe leather.  If I do try this, I'll cut way back on the total bake time.

The seasoning sounds interesting.  I'd have to cut down the calories a bit.
