Almond Crusted Chicken image

From Williams Sonoma's Cooking Basics. It uses boneless skinless chicken breasts and is quite delicious. It's a great dish for company. I used a little more almonds and parmesan cheese for the coating - it depends on the size of your chicken breasts. I also prefer more shallot and a little more wine.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious.
