When I made this recipe for dinner tonight, I added a little salt to the flour/almond mixture and I wasn't sure about the sauce because it smelled very strong. Boy, was I in for a surprise! My very picky husband, 9-yr-old son and I just LOVED it!!!! The sauce has a slightly teriyaki flavor, but not as strong and the almonds on the chicken are perfect! We made it with wild rice and corn. We will definitely be making it again real soon!

The sauce was great and made it really pretty too. We liked it a lot.

Re: Balsamic Almond Chicken

Excellent recipe. Even my husband liked it which he wasn't quite sure about the sauce. Certainly a keeper

The almonds add a great crusty breading to this chicken like I've never had before. Yummy sauce. Great recipe all around. I'll make it again for sure.
