Almond Orange Chicken

By: Sharon Lebold

"'This moist tender chicken with its crunchy nut coating and smooth sauce is one of my best recipes,' raves Sharon Lebold of Bayfield, Ontario. 'I sometimes cook it in my electric skillet because it easily holds all the chicken.'"

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

10 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
2 eggs
3/4 cup ground almonds
6 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked rice

Directions

Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Place the almonds in a third bowl. Coat chicken with flour, then dip in eggs and roll in almonds. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken in 2 tablespoons butter on both sides until juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute the onion in remaining butter until tender. Stir in poultry seasoning and remaining flour until blended. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the orange marmalade, orange juice and peel, salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken. Serve with rice if desired.
