Ingredients

  • 12 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 1/4 cups orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions
