Almond Crusted Chicken With A Strawberry Balsamic Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup almonds
1 egg white
1 cup fresh strawberries, rinsed and stems removed
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 cup chicken broth (potentially more if sauce requires)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (2 sprigs of fresh rosemary)

Preparation

Preheat the over to 350. In a food processor, process almonds for 1-2 minutes to a chunky bread crumb consistency. Set aside.
Lightly pound chicken breast into 1/2\" - 1\" pieces. The easiest way to do this is to cover the chicken breast with saran wrap using the smooth side of a kitchen mallet.
Dip chicken into a bowl containing the egg white, followed by dipping the chicken into the almond mixture. Coat each chicken breast with almond crumbs on each side. Place is a glass baking dish. Bake chicken for 30-35 minutes.
For the strawberry sauce, combine the strawberries, sugar, and balsamic in a food processor. Place strawberry mixture in a stove top pan and add chicken broth, cornstarch and rosemary. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Top tender chicken breasts with the strawberry balsamic sauce and garnish with extra fresh rosemary. Bon Appetit!
