- chopped parsley (to garnish)
- Mix flour and salt and pepper. Adjust to taste as I just guessed on the measurements. Place in plastic bag and dredge breasts in it.
- Heat oil in a skillet and add chicken. Brown on both sides. Remove chicken to oven proof dish, preferably one with a lid.
- Add 2 Tbs flour or some of the dredging flour to pan drippings. Cook until browned, stirring constantly. Add stock gradually; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Blend in chocolate and stir until melted. Add cinnamon and salt and pepper if needed. Stir in remaining ingredients (not garnish) and pour over chicken.
- Bake, covered, in preheated 325 F oven for 45 minutes.
