Chicken Cherries Flambe, From the book, 365 Ways to Cook Chicken by Cheryl Sedaker I tend to substitute boneless chicken breasts, and have never actually tried this with the slivered almonds This is one of those recipes that really is so easy to make but looks amazing and is very impressive at dinner parties , Wonderful! I made this on 2Bleu’s recommendation and was not disappointed used some thick boneless skinless breasts I halved the recipe for 4 of us, but kept the cream cheese amount at almost the whole 3 oz because it seemed skimpy when I first mixed it up and we wanted lots of filling After I took the photo I decided to sprinkle additional sliced almonds on top which was a perfect garnish Thanks for a special Valentine’s Day dinner , This recipe made it into our Book #242923! 04/27/09 – Yummy and so elegant! We only had thin filets of chicken breast so I rolled them in the filling and baked them at 325F for 20 minutes and poured the cherry sauce over top We did include the almonds and it was devine! They added a wonderful crunchiness and the flavor mixed well with the cherries and orange peel The only substitution we made was to use Amaretto for the brandy Definitely a company worthy dish, Thanks for posting! 🙂
