Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wanted to lick my plate seriously. Very easy, fairly inexpensive if you can get the slivered almonds on sale (look for the salad topper kind).
Makes 4 servings
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup slivered almonds
4 tbsp butter
1.5 tbsp minced garlic (if you prefer)
2 tbsp lemon juice
a couple pinches of salt and pepper
Rub salt and pepper onto thawed chicken breast. Pop in oven for 25 minutes on 350. Melt butter on stove and stir in lemon juice, garlic and almonds. Let almonds start to get brown. Add the chicken and cover for 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cover for another five minutes. Remove chicken to plates and carefully portion out the almond mixture onto each piece.
Mmmmmmmmm, so good and easy!! I served this with herbed, buttery green beans and it was awesome
