This was a great, fast dinner. My husband loved it and we both ate the leftovers for dinner the next day. Instead of eating the pita on the side, we ate the chicken and tomato as a pita sandwich.
Indian-Spiced Chicken with Tomato Chutney
Chutney is a spicy fruit condiment that's widely used in Indian-style recipes. Here, the tomato chutney is served over chicken spiced with coriander, curry powder, and cumin. A serving of this dish provides about one-tenth of your daily potassium needs. Serve with broccoli and whole wheat pitas.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and about 2 1/2 tablespoons chutney)
