Chicken In Orange And Almond Sauce

1. 1

   Heat a large fry pan over medium heat until hot. Add the almonds and cook, stirring around every so often, until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same pan, heat the butter.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and paprika.

4. 4

   Fry the chicken until golden brown all over.

5. 5

   Cover the pan, reduce the heat and cook gently for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is tender.

6. 6

   While the chicken is cooking, squeeze the juice from two oranges, remove the skin and pith from the third and cut into segments.

7. 7

   When the chicken is done, remove and arrange on a hot serving dish.

8. 8

   Pour out any excess butter and add the orange juice and sugar. Stir well then allow to boil rapidly for 2-3 minutes. (NOTE: pouring out the excess butter is what the recipe says. I think leaving it in would give more flavor and character to the sauce).

9. 9

   Adjust the seasoning and pour the sauce over the chicken.

10. 10

    Garnish with the orange segments and sprinkle over the almonds. Serve with cooked rice.
