Zubereitung von Mexican Chicken With Almond Chile Cream

Combine 1/2 cup blanched almonds and 2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper (or 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder + 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder) in a blender or food processor.
Process until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Place each of 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap.
Gently pound each chicken breast to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Sprinkle each chicken breast with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook for 6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet.
Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the almond-chile mixture, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup crema mexicana (or crème fraîche).
Serve the sauce generously over the chicken.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
