Baked Almond Chicken -hands down the family's favorite meal. My daughter literally licks the plate. I like to serve this with peas, and I usually toss them in to cook with the noodles. You can use less chicken but I would keep the spice amounts the same. Also, I have done it with chunks or whole chicken breasts... both is fine (just more cutting for kiddos if you leave 'em)
½ C flour
1/3 C butter + 1 Tbs divided
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp curry powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp pepper
6 boneless chicken breast halves
1 ½ C whipping cream
1/3 C dry bread crumbs
¾ C sliced, toasted almonds
(egg noodles/pasta)
Grease shallow 3 qt baking dish. Melt 1/3 C butter, add seasonings. Coat chicken in flour, then spice mixture. Arrange in baking dish. Pour cream around chicken. Bake uncovered @ 350 for 45 minutes. Combine bread crumbs & tbs butter. Sprinkle over chicken, top with almonds. Bake 5-8 min/golden brown*. Serve over pasta. *or just put them on at the start :)
