Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the almonds and toast swirling the pan until golden. Remove almonds and set aside, reserve skillet.
- Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Heat the oil and butter in the skillet over medium high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, curry powder, thyme, and cayenne to the pan. Stir to loosen up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and nestle the chicken pieces in the sauce, bring the sauce up to a simmer and then transfer to the oven and cook until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove skillet from the oven and transfer chicken to a serving dish. Spoon any oil off the surface of the sauce and discard. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, add the currants and simmer to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and scatter the toasted almonds on top. Serve with a dollop of cool yogurt and herb sauce.
- In a bowl combine the first 4 ingredients, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:
- Select the right chicken: Choose a whole chicken or chicken pieces that are fresh, plump, and have a slight pink color. Avoid chicken that has a slimy texture or an off odor.
- Enhance the flavor of the chicken: Before cooking the chicken, season it generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight to infuse it with even more flavor.
- Brown the chicken before braising: Browning the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat before braising it adds a delicious caramelized flavor to the dish. Make sure the chicken is browned on all sides.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the chicken fricassee its rich and complex flavor. Use a combination of chicken broth, white wine, and herbs to create a flavorful braising liquid.
- Cook the chicken until it is fall-off-the-bone tender: The chicken should be cooked until it is fall-off-the-bone tender, but not overcooked. This usually takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Serve the chicken fricassee over rice or noodles: Chicken fricassee is traditionally served over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Chicken fricassee is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
