If you know anything about me, you know that I love food. I love to cook. Love to eat. The whole shebang. One of my favorites to make for friends is this recipe Chicken with Savory Almond Butter Sauce. I make the sauce with JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter, sliced mushrooms, and shallots—which are like garlicky onions. It gives it an amazing flavor that everyone at your party is sure to remember.
3 tablespoons JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter
4 (4 ounces) Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
16 ounce Mushrooms, sliced
½ cup Peas
¼ cup Shallots, sliced
⅓ cup Water
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt/pepper.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the chicken in olive oil for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through.
3. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, shallots, and peas and cook for 6-8 minutes or until tender.
5. Whisk the JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter with water until thoroughly combined.
6. Add the almond butter sauce to vegetable mixture and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Spoon approximately ⅓ cup of almond butter sauce and veggies over the chicken.
8. Serve warm on top of the whole wheat orzo, rice, and quinoa or by itself.
