Almond Butter Chicken

by Jennifer

This turned out really, really, good! I want to make it sometime for friends. It had a great sweet-savory flavor. I had mine with broccoli, and my husband got green beans (he hates broccoli)! I’m already looking forward to enjoying the leftovers.

Serves: 4-8, depending on size of breasts and each person’s appetite!

Ingredients:

  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (free range preferable)
  • 1 medium size onion, sliced
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup filtered (pure) water

Directions:

  1. Make a marinade by combining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and cumin. Add chicken and marinate 10 minutes.
  2. Broil chicken till tender. Turn as needed.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion slices in the olive oil till golden brown or transparent; add in the water, the garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from the heat. Beat in the almond butter until melted.
  5. Pour over the chicken and serve warm. Goes great with any salad or steamed vegetables.
