Ingredients

  • 1/4  cup sliced almonds
  • 1  tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
  • 4  boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2  cup chopped shallots
  • 3  ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/3  cup orange marmalade
  • 3  tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4  teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Orange slices (optional)

Directions

  1. 1Place 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.
  2. 2Heat 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.
  3. 3Add 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, or until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 160°F and juices run clear. Top with almonds and orange slices, if using.
