A recipe...

I'm getting my next recipe swap pages together and I thought I might as well share this one with you, too! I got the recipe from a co-worker a few years ago and we love it! It is terribly bad for you, but so delicious! I'm planning on having this for dinner on Friday night!

Creamy Almond Chicken
1 stick butter, melted
2 tsp. celery salt
1½ tsp. oregano, finely crushed
2 tsp. paprika
1½ tsp. curry powder
salt
freshly ground pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
flour
3/4 c. sliced roasted almonds
1½ c. half and half1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. sherry

Combine butter and spices; set aside.
Preheat oven to 350ยบ.
Dredge chicken in flour and then roll in butter mixture. Arrange chicken in baking dish, scatter almonds evenly over chicken and pour half and half over all. Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover dish, pour cooking liquid from pan into bowl. Whisk sour cream and sherry into juices until smooth. Pour over chicken and bake, uncovered, 15-20 minutes longer or until chicken is done. Serve with a light pasta side dish.

Bon Appetit!

You are right, it looks NOT healthy, but delicious. I wonder if you can use less butter. I do want to try it, especially that I want a chicken recipe that is served sith pasta.

And thank you for the visit today and the treat. We have to return it, especially that after you left, Jonathan cried (really cried) that he wants to go see Coda :-)

Oh, Ivona, that makes me laugh that Jonathan cried to come see Coda because once he is here, he's quite afraid of him! Maybe that's changed! And no, you can't use less butter! As a matter of fact, once you get to the end of the 8 chicken breasts, you almost need more!
