INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups finely chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms
  • 1 onion, sliced into rings
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup almond paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

  4. In same skillet, brown the mushrooms and onions with the garlic. Mix together and spread mixture over the chicken.
