Chicken In A Chocolate Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 ounce bitter chocolate (half cube)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup blanched almonds, chopped or 1/2 cup sliced almonds, crushed
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup raisins
12 prunes, pitted
whole almond, and
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Preparation

Mix flour and salt and pepper. Adjust to taste as I just guessed on the measurements. Place in plastic bag and dredge breasts in it.
Heat oil in a skillet and add chicken. Brown on both sides. Remove chicken to oven proof dish, preferably one with a lid.
Add 2 Tbs flour or some of the dredging flour to pan drippings. Cook until browned, stirring constantly. Add stock gradually; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Blend in chocolate and stir until melted. Add cinnamon and salt and pepper if needed. Stir in remaining ingredients (not garnish) and pour over chicken.
Bake, covered, in preheated 325 F oven for 45 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley and blanched whole almonds.
