Chicken with Almonds

This is a great little dish that is a favorite at my home. My mom gets the credit for this one and I was enjoying it at an early age. Now that I have a family of my own, it has become a favorite once again. If you are not a fan of almonds, simply don't add them to the dish. It will still be amazing.




6-8 chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup of diced onion
3 Tbsp. All Purpose Flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup Sherry
2 tsp. dried tarragon
salt and pepper to taste
1cup sour cream
4 Tbsp. slivered almonds (opt)

Salt and pepper chicken
Brown chicken in oil and remove
Saute onions in same pan
Stir in flour
Slowly add sherry and chicken broth
When liquid begins to simmer, remove chicken to skillet
Add tarragon, salt and pepper
Cook covered on low for approximately 45 minutes
Stir in sour cream and heat; do not boil
Garnish with slivered almonds

I like to serve this with white rice
