Comments
A recipe from "365 Ways to Cook Chicken" by Cheryl Sedaker.

Really tasty! We didn't think to pound the chicken so we had to cook it a little bit longer and I think we put the parsley on as a garnish with the almonds. I like the crunch of the toasted slivered almonds as opposed to sliced. It turned out great!
