Chicken Amaretto Superb
We like chicken and we have to include a lot of it in my husband's diet since he is a heart patient. So we have to find many and varied ways to serve it so we don't all get bored to death. This recipe is always a hit.
INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper (you don't need too much)
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
6 chicken breasts ( skinless and boneless)
3 -4 tablespoons oil (or as needed)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1⁄2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1⁄4 cup water
2⁄3 cup Amaretto
DIRECTIONS
- Set oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
- Roll/coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Saute chicken in oil until golden brown and transfer to a greased casserole dish.
- In the same skillet, increase the heat to med-high and melt butter.
- Add in Dijon mustard, orange juice concentrate, water and Amaretto; stir constantly until liquid is reduced.
- Pour the sauce over chicken.
- Bake covered for 35-40 minutes. Serves six
Easy recipe to follow and a very tasty dish to serve your family. We like it with mashed potatoes and veggies or rice pilaf but pasta would compliment it also. Bask in the compliments.
This looked so good to Eloise , she made it for dinner tonight and it was just delicious ... we had carrots/ sliced tomatoes /mashed potatoes /rolls and pecan pie .

I am so happy you liked it. I have never cooked meat with Amaretto before but it lends a very nice flavor.
