Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup almonds, sliced
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup shallots, chopped
3 mushrooms sliced
1/3 cup orange marmalade
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper
Orange slices (optional)

Steps:

Place almonds in a large nonstick skillet. Toast over medium heat, shaking the pan often, 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove to a plate and set aside. Warm oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, or until no longer pink, turning occasionally. Remove to a plate. Add shallots to the pan and cook 5 minutes, or until soft. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, or until mushrooms render their juices. Stir in marmalade, soy sauce, and pepper. Return chicken to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Top with almonds and orange slices, if using.
