Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 whole chicken breasts -- appx 8oz 250g ea.
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
14 fl oz coconut milk -- 470ml unsweetened
2 tbsp splenda
1/8 tbsp molasses -- to taste, tiny amoun
2 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp curry powder -- to taste
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp raisins

* Note: Look for canned unsweetened coconut milk in supermarkets, Asian and Caribbean markets. (Don't use cream of coconut, which is best for desserts.) To make you own coconut milk, bring 1 cup milk and 1 cup unsweetened coconut to a boil. Allow to steep for 20 minutes; puree and strain. Yield: 1 cup.
Preheat oven to 450°F-230°C . Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Roast until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
While chicken is roasting in a large skillet, combine coconut milk, brown splenda, basil, curry powder, soy sauce and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring, for 10 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream.
Transfer chicken breasts to serving plates. Spoon sauce over and sprinkle each serving with some raisins.

Variation: Serve the coconut curry sauce as a dip for chicken or beef kebabs.
