Ingredients




4 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup Chicken Stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 chicken breast halves, boneless& skinless
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup gf flour
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

1 Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 2 Add mustard seeds and cover. 3 Cook until the seeds begin to pop. 4 Remove pan from heat and wait until popping stops, about 30 seconds. Uncover pan (the seeds will be dark gray). 5 Return pan to heat and add onion slices. 6 Cook onion, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. 7 Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, honey and cayenne. 8 Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chicken stock. Increase heat to high and boil until mixture is reduced by half. 9 Reduce heat to medium and add cream. 10 Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. 11 Adjust seasonings to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 12 Place chicken breast halves on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. With a meat mallet, lightly pound chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch all over. 13 Season chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 14 In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium-high heat. 15 Working in batches to avoid over crowding, brown chicken breasts on both sides, about 4-5 minutes total. 16 Transfer cooked chicken breasts to the prepared sauce and turn to coat pieces thoroughly. 17 Garnish chicken with freshly chopped cilantro and serve.
