What a winner of a dish! I confess that chicken breasts are way down my list of things to love but I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I couldn't tell what DH thought as he just kept making yum yum noises :)<br/>The only thing I'd do differently is to make more sauce. Definitely a company worthy meal. Thanks so much for posting it!

OMG! This was awesome! I had made my own almond milk and had the leftover almond. I didn't want to toss the almond meal so I used it in this recipe. I'll be making my own almond milk more often now since I can use the residual as a coating on chicken, and I'm thinking that it would be good on salmon as well. Thanks!
