    Chicken breasts with Green Chili – Almond Cream Sauce

    0
    By Sarah on July 24, 2016 Dinner, Low Carb Meal Recipes, Low Carb Recipes

    Served with a tossed green salad, this creamy and satisfying dinner is awesome but what it really needs is rice! Of course, if you are following a low carb diet, rice is pretty much off the menu but you can enjoy some faux rice by grating and lightly cooking some cauliflower florets. Drain the excess water with a colander, add some salt and pepper, and you’ve got a perfectly acceptable carb-free alternative to rice.

    Ingredients – serves four

    • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
    • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 3/4 cup chopped seeded fresh New Mexican green chills
    • 3 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
    • 3 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
    • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
    • 6 chicken breast cutlets or fillets (about 4 ounces each)
    • 1 tablespoon canola oil
    • 2 tablespoons whipping cream
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

    Directions

    Combine almond milk, broth, green chilies, scallion whites, almonds, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the mixture until reduced by half, 20 to 30 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or puree in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids).

    Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half the chicken until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Cook the remaining chicken until browned.

    Add the first batch of chicken back to the pan. Pour in the sauce and cook at a low simmer, turning occasionally, until all the chicken is cooked through and tender, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Stir cream into the sauce and pour the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and sesame seeds.
