1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup chopped shallots
3 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup orange marmalade
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Orange slices (optional)
1. Place almonds in a large nonstick skillet. Toast over medium heat, shaking the pan often, 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove to a plate and set aside.
2. Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, or until no longer pink, turning occasionally. Remove to a plate.
3. Add shallots to the pan and cook 5 minutes, or until soft. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, or until mushrooms render their juices. Stir in marmalade, soy sauce, and pepper. Return chicken to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 160°F and juices run clear. Top with almonds and orange slices, if using.
