Ingredients
- 4 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves

- 1 lemon, sliced and seeded
- 3 shallots, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) curry powder

Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- In a large ovenproof skillet, brown the chicken on both sides in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, brown the lemon slices on each side. Add oil, if needed. Add the shallots, garlic, and spices and sauté for about 2 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and reduce by half. Add the remaining ingredients and return the chicken to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Turn the chicken once during cooking.
