Toasted Almond Chicken

Less than 30 minutes and this delicious and flavorful chicken will be on the table ready to eat.  If you choose to serve this chicken over brown rice, dinner won't quite be ready in under 30 minutes, since brown rice takes long to cook.

Toasted Almond Chicken

3. Add in the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, flip the chicken over and cook for 5-7 minutes on the other side.
4. Remove the chicken and set aside.
5. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the whipping cream, marmalade and mustard, stir to mix well.
6. Add the chicken back in and sprinkle the almonds on top. Cook for 8 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Notes: 

Nutritional info does not include rice.

My chicken breasts were quite large, about 10 ounces a piece so I made this 8 servings.
