This 1950s-era recipe was designed to use that new exotic ingredient, soy sauce! In my opinion, the name is meant to connote unusual rather than Indian. I found this recipe on a yellowed newspaper clipping.
Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts (i remove and discard the skin)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
paprika, to taste
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons butter (use real butter, not margarine)
1 cup sherry wine (avoid cooking sherry)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika; dredge in flour. On the stove top, brown the chicken in butter.
3. Place browned chicken in a casserole dish, large enough for 1 layer.
4. In a separate bowl, combine sherry, brown sugar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and ginger to make a sauce. Pour this sauce over the chicken.
5. Cover casserole tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour. Serve over rice or noodles.
