Amaretto Chicken
Rich and tasty. I had this in a restaurant years ago, experimented with it at home until I finally got it right.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves skinless
- 3 green onions diced
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms sliced
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
- 1/4 cup capers
Instructions
- Melt 1/4 cup of the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown chicken in butter quickly, and remove to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Add remaining 1/4 cup butter to skillet and brown the green onion and mushrooms with the garlic and tarragon. Pour this saute mixture over chicken breasts.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat the cream, cheese and amaretto in the skillet, whisking rapidly. Stir in capers, then pour sauce over chicken, green onions and mushrooms.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
