      4    Half-chicken breasts,boned,
           -skinned
    1/2 ts Cumin seeds
    1/2 ts Dried sage
    1/2    Onion, minced
      2 c  Dry white wine
      4    Garlic cloves, minced
      1 c  Chicken stock
      2 tb Butter
      1 tb Flour
    1/3 lb Cooked, diced ham
    1/4 c  Capers, drained, rinsed
 
  Saute onion and garlic in butter until onion is soft. Butter a heavy
  casserole large enough to hold all ingredients. Place half the ham in
  the bottom, chicken breasts on top, then remaining ham. Sprinkle with
  cumin and sage, add sauteed onion and garlic. Add wine and enough
  stock to cover the chicken.
  
  Cover the casserole and bake at 325 deg F for 25-30 minutes, or until

  warmed platter. Reduce sauce over high heat, add flour to thicken
  slightly. Pour sauce over chicken and ham. Sprinkle with capers and
  serve.
