Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp butter or margarine, divided (less is needed if using less than 6 breast)
1 1/2 c whipping cream
2 Tbsp orange marmalade
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/8 tsp ground red pepper (i use cayenne pepper)
1 pkg (2.25-ounce) sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Place chicken between plastic wrap and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Melt 1 1/2 T butter in skillet over med-high heat. Add half of chicken and cook 2 min per side or until golden. Remove chicken and repeat with remaining chicken and butter. NOTE: I normally cook for 2, so I reduce the butter when I cook less than 6 breast. But, I don't reduce the amount of the sauce. Can't get enough of this sauce!
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium; add whipping cream and next 3 ingredients to skillet; stirring well. Add chicken; sprinkle with almonds and cook 8 minutes or until sauce thickens.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked in about 20 minutes. The almond topping was also very easy to make and added a nice crunch to the chicken.
