Ingredients for Amaretto Chicken
- Boneless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate

How to Make Amaretto Chicken
- In a small bowl, combine the frozen orange juice concentrate with 1/2 cup of water. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic salt.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the Dijon mustard, orange juice mixture, and amaretto to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it in the sauce.
- Cover the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve immediately. This dish can be frozen after cooling completely. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven until heated through.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
