Name: Braised Chicken with Tomatoes and Honey
Source: Empire kosher

4 tbsp. olive oil
8 skinless & boneless chicken breasts
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup chicken stock
10 large, meaty tomatoes, peeled and seeded, or 2 - 24 oz. cans good quality tomatoes
1/4 tsp saffron threads, dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling chicken stock
1/3 cup thick honey (citrus honey is best)
2 sticks cinnamon
1 - one-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds.

l. Heat 4 tbsp oil over medium-high heat, in a wide saute' pan that has a tight fitting lid.. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides, and set aside.

2. Saute' the onions in the same oil until soft and translucent (5 - 7 minutes) Reduce heat and deglaze with 1/2 cup chicken stock, scraping up brown bits with a wooden spoon.

3. Add the tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, stirring every once in a while. Add the saffron and honey. Stir well to dissolve. Add the cinnamon sticks and ginger root.

4. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, making sure they are covered with sauce. Turn the heat down to simmer and cover pan with foil. Then, cover it with its lid. Cook until chicken is tender and juices run clear, about 20 to 25 minutes.

5. While the chicken is cooking, toast the almonds by cooking them in a dry cast-iron skillet over medium heat or on a cookie sheet in a pre-heated oven 350 degrees until nicely browned.

6. Remove the cinnamon sticks and ginger root before serving. The tomatoes will have dissolved into a nice sauce. Pass the sauce through a sieve to smooth it out before serving. If you used canned tomatoes, this has the added advantage of removing the seeds. Serve one chicken breast per person, with some of the sauce and sprinkled with toasted almonds.
