While I am new to cooking I found this recipe easy and it tastes great. Use about 1/2 the almond paste and don't have the pan too hot when you cook the breasts. I will make this again.

Such a good boneless chicken recipe. A nice different touch. I had to substitute flour and almond extract for the almond paste, still turned out very tasty.

I made this for Valentines day dinner for my new BF 3 years ago. It got Rave reviews; and were still together :o) Since I was traveling to dinner I chopped everything up ( onion, almonds, butter pieces) and put in containers and cooked the chicken and did the mixing at the house. But It was really Easy and WONDERFUL. It was just as wonderful a few days later for lunch. May be too flavorful or "wierd looking for kids"

Very good dinner - had to make my own almond paste, but still an easy recipe! Make sure you're hungry because it's filling!

A very good chicken dish. I used a lot less almond paste than the recipe called for and it came out wonderfully with a light flavor. Was a pleasure to make and enjoy with my husband who like it as well. A good recipe.

I love almonds, however I didn't care for the taste of this recipe at all. The almond taste (I think because of the paste) was far too strong. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe took me much longer than the 40 mins that the recipe describes. It was very difficult to coat the chicken in the almond crumbs and then brown the chicken without the crumbs falling off and then burning black in the pan. I probably won't ever cook this again. Once it was done, however, it was quite tasty.

I was not impressed with this recipe at all. After baking the sauce was a grayish color and didn't give the dish enough flavor. If I try this recipe again I will try making it without baking the sauce with the chicken.
