Chicken with Banana Curry Sauce
You can never have too many Indian recipes, so give Chicken with Banan A mixture of bananas, lime juice, mustard, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the lime zest you could follow this main course with the Orange Marmalade Cookies with Orange Zest Icing as a dessert. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, primal, and fodmap friendly diet. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes.
Instructions
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.
Menu Suggestion: Be sure to have plenty of rice ready to catch the generous quantity of sauce.
Wine Recommendation: A completely dry wine will taste coarse and acidic with the fruity and slightly sweet flavor here. Instead, choose a white with a touch of sweetness. An off-dry California chenin blanc, gewrtztraminer, or riesling will hold its own nicely.
Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. One wine you could try is Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc
The Lang & Reed 2015 Chenin Blanc – Napa Valley has peach and tropical fruit that are immediately on the nose, with the necessary hint of honeycomb (the traditional varietal character), and a lesser expression of apple and citrus. On the palate, the aromas are mirrored and given an even stronger presence with yellow apple exotic citrus notes, which give it an accurate tartness. The texture is tender, and the flavors broaden with a touch of saline minerality, which leads into bright crisp acidity, adding to the wine’s refreshing character. It will blossom and gain in complexity with additional bottle time.
