Chicken with Orange Almond Sauce

I found this one in a book of Diabetic Recipes.... it's actually really good.

Ingredients:
Butter Flavored Cooking Spray
4 boneless Chicken breast halves (4 oz each)
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup Splenda, granular
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions:
1) Spray large skillet with cooking spray, brown chicken pieces by cooking 4 to 5 minutes on each side
2) In a covered jar, combine Orange juice, Splenda, and cornstarch. Shake to blend well.
3) Spray medium sauce pan with cooking spray. Pour sauce mixture into sauce pan and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens-stir constantly
4) Stir oranges, almonds, onion flakes, and parsley into sauce. Spoon over chicken breasts.
5) Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center. When serving, spoon sauce over chicken breasts.

We served this with brown rice and veggies and it made a great dinner!

  1. We tried having leftovers of this the other night and it does work great once frozen and reheated.... my suggestion is to only cook as much as you need.
