Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
-
Prepare Curry Sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine bananas, curry powder, ground coriander, dry mustard, butter, lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree consistency.
-
Prepare Chicken: Using a sharp knife, make a few deep cuts in each chicken breast. Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
-
Coat with Sauce: Pour the prepared curry sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring that it seeps into the cuts you made earlier, allowing the flavors to infuse into the meat.
-
Roast: Place the roasting pan in the bottom third of the preheated oven and roast the chicken until it’s just cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
-
Rest and Reserve Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, remove the roasting pan from the oven and transfer the chicken breasts to a serving platter. There should be a generous amount of thick sauce left in the bottom of the pan.
-
Thicken Sauce: Place the roasting pan with the remaining sauce over medium-low heat on the stove. Whisk the sauce gently until it’s heated through, adjusting the consistency by adding more water if you prefer a thinner sauce.
-
Serve: Arrange the chicken breasts on individual plates and generously spoon the warm curry sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.
-
Enjoy: Serve your wonderful chicken with curry sauce alongside fluffy white rice or your favorite side dishes, and savor every delightful bite.
