CHICKEN IN ORANGE AND ALMOND SAUCE
From an old vintage cookbook I picked up at a charity shop. This calls for chicken pieces but I think boneless breasts would work well with this. It did not give amounts for salt, pepper and paprika, so season to your taste.

Steps:
- Heat a large fry pan over medium heat until hot. Add the almonds and cook, stirring around every so often, until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the butter.
- Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and paprika.
- Fry the chicken until golden brown all over.
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat and cook gently for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- While the chicken is cooking, squeeze the juice from two oranges, remove the skin and pith from the third and cut into segments.
- When the chicken is done, remove and arrange on a hot serving dish.
- Pour out any excess butter and add the orange juice and sugar. Stir well then allow to boil rapidly for 2-3 minutes. (NOTE: pouring out the excess butter is what the recipe says. I think leaving it in would give more flavor and character to the sauce).
- Adjust the seasoning and pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with the orange segments and sprinkle over the almonds. Serve with cooked rice.

[email protected]This was my first time making chicken in orange and almond sauce and it was a bit too tangy for my taste. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit overpowering. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
