Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish and season with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine white wine, chicken broth, and 3/4 cup of the heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream to form a smooth paste. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually whisk the flour paste into the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions into the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and onions have softened slightly. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. (1 minute)

08

Step

Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the sauce. (1 minute)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and golden brown. (90 minutes)

10

Step

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. (10 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, use a dry, oaky white wine such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.
To add more depth, consider browning the chicken breasts lightly in a skillet before placing them in the baking dish.
Serve with brown rice, wild rice, or steamed broccoli for a complete and satisfying meal.
