A dusting of curry powder gives chicken breasts a simple but welcome twist that pairs nicely with a dollop of yogurt sauce. The flavourful brown rice would also go well with grilled steak or fish. Using parboiled brown rice allows you to have this meal on the table in 30 minutes.

Method
In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook shallots and half of the salt, stirring often, until translucent, about 2 minutes.Stir in rice to coat; add broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender and no liquid remains, about 20 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes; fluff with fork. Stir in raisins and cilantro.
Meanwhile, mix curry powder, coriander, pepper and remaining salt; sprinkle all over chicken.
In large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat; brown chicken, turning once, about 8 minutes.
Transfer skillet to 350°F (180°C) oven. Bake until chicken is no longer pink inside, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 5 minutes before slicing across the grain.
Meanwhile, spread almonds on rimmed baking sheet; toast in bottom third of oven until golden, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle over rice.
Yogurt Sauce: Mix together yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, pepper and salt; serve with chicken and rice.
