Ingredients
1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut up (about 3-1/2 pounds)
1-1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup sliced pickled jalapeños, drained

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds
  Hot cooked rice (optional)

Add stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, raisins, jalapeños, cumin and cinnamon; heat to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes more or until chicken is tender and sauce is thickened.* Stir in almonds; serve over rice. Sprinkle with cheese.
