Directions

5 cup pumpkin seeds 1 cup freshly popped Kentucky Poppers Microwave Popcorn, either flavor ½ teaspoon cumin seeds ½ teaspoon ground coriander 1-1½ teaspoons chili powder 1 large garlic clove 2 medium-sized tomatoes, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1-2 cans chicken broth 6-8 pieces of chicken (2 whole, boneless breasts, divided, and 4 thighs make a nice presentation), skinned X salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2-3 tablespoons peanut oil Place pumpkin seeds, popcorn, cumin seeds, coriander, chili powder and garlic in blender or food processor; process several seconds or until pasty. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and process 10 seconds. Slowly add chicken broth ** until mixture resembles a smooth, heavy, but not pasty, sauce. Set aside. In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat and brown chicken pieces. Drain on paper towels and place in a greased, shallow baking pan (11"x7"x2") in a single layer. Pour sauce over all, cover with tin foil and bake in a 350 oven 1 hour or until chicken is very tender.* Pumpkin seeds come already roasted and salted or just plain. Use either, but remember to adjust salt.

** Use only as much chicken broth as needed From: Sam Lefkowitz Date: 08-10-95 (14:47) (164) Fido: Home Co
