How to Make Baked Chicken Breasts With Almond Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced), 2 green onions (thinly sliced), 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp dry sherry, and ½ cup slivered almonds.
  3. Pour the mushroom mixture into a shallow baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp paprika, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and ½ tsp almond extract.
  5. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) in the baking dish on top of the mushroom mixture.
  6. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1 tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp salt.
  7. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  9. Carefully remove the chicken from the baking dish and set aside. Pour the pan juices into a medium saucepan.
  10. Over medium heat, whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in ½ cup sour cream until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  11. Serve the chicken breasts over rice or your favorite side dish, generously drizzled with the creamy almond sauce.
