• Cook’s Note
• The easiest way to crush whole spices is to use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. If you do not have either of these kitchen tools, place the whole spices in a heavy lock-top plastic bag, seal the bag while pressing out all the air, and pound them with the bottom of a small, heavy saucepan until coarsely crushed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large pan, melt the butter and brown the chicken fillets. Transfer to ovenproof dish. Do not clean out the pan!
• In the same pan, cook the onion until soft, stirring occasionally.
• In a food processor or blender, add all the remaining ingredients and puree.
• Add pureed mixture to onions in pan, heat through, pour over the browned chicken in the ovenproof dish, and cover.
• Bake covered in 350 degree F oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear.
• Serve with rice.
