I love sweet-and-sour flavoring and came up with this version to capture that taste in chicken. The gelatin and mustard make an attractive golden sauce.

Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons thinly sliced almonds
Hot cooked rice, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine gelatin, butter, mustard, garlic salt and pepper. Brush over both sides of the chicken breasts and place in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Spoon remaining mixture around chicken.
Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, basting once. Uncover; baste and sprinkle with almonds. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes longer or until juices run clear. Serve over rice if desired.

A nice change, flavourful. You need to use a good quality curry powder.
