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.
