Description

Almonds offer their nutty sweetness to this richly sauced chicken with mushrooms. A lovely entree for company.

Ingredients

3/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 cup sliced almonds
salt and pepper to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

1 Heat wine, broth and most of the cream (reserve a little) in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Thicken flour with reserved cream, enough to make a thin paste. Add this to saucepan, stirring constantly until sauce has thickened. Stir in mushrooms and onions.
2 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F(165 degrees C).
3 Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour sauce over chicken and top with almonds. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
