Lemon juice adds a pleasant tardiness to the buttery sauce that Karen Zink of Grand Island, Nebraska serves over chicken. My family loves this easy-to-make entree, she notes. I often toss in more almonds for extra crunch.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1/3 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the chicken in 2 tablespoons of butter for 10-12 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
2. Transfer to serving plate and keep warm. Add almonds and remaining butter to skillet; cook and stir just until almonds are lightly browned. Stir in lemon juice; heat through. Spoon over chicken. Yield: 4 servings.
