Crunchy Crimson Chicken
Start to Finish: 1 hr
Ingredients
- Raspberry Sauce (see recipe below)
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 6 ounce can smoked almonds, coarsely ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 ounces Brie cheese, cut into slices (rind removed, if you like)
- Finely shredded orange peel (optional)
Directions
1. Prepare sauce, and keep it warm.
For chicken:2. Place each breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Lightly pound each chicken piece into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
3. In a bowl, beat egg and milk together. Place almonds in a shallow dish. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture. Coat both sides with almonds, pressing the nuts gently into chicken.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Cook the chicken, 2 pieces at a time, over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until almond coating is golden brown and chicken no longer is pink. Turn chicken once halfway through cooking time. Place chicken on a baking sheet; top each piece with a slice of Brie.
