ORANGE CHICKEN ALMONDINE



Orange Chicken Almondine image

I remember this recipe from the country club that I waitressed at as a teenager. It was so yummy but easy to make, the sweet and tanginess of the sauce with the crunchy, toasted almonds is great for an anytime dish.

Provided by Mebriella

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian dressing
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup orange juice, I use Simply Orange
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken breasts with the Italian dressing overnight.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and toast the almonds until they are golden brown; set aside.
  • Heat another 2 tablespoons of oil in pan and sautee the chicken breasts until done; remove the chicken and set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix together the chicken broth, orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce and cornstarch.
  • In the same pan used for sauteeing the chicken, put in the orange sauce mixture and cook until its a thick glaze consistency. Stir in the almonds.
  • Add the chicken back to the orange sauce mixture to coat.
  • Enjoy!

Tips

  • To save time, purchase pre-sliced almonds. Alternatively, slice whole almonds yourself using a sharp knife or food processor.
  • If you don't have dry sherry, you can substitute white wine or chicken broth.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as this will make it tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken almondine immediately over rice or noodles. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
  • If you like a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the pan after the chicken has been cooked.
  • For a crispy coating on the chicken, dredge it in flour before searing it in the pan.
  • Experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or white vinegar to the sauce for a tangy flavor.
  • Serve the chicken almondine with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion

Chicken almondine is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, savory sauce, and crunchy almonds makes it a delicious and satisfying meal.
