Chicken With Amaretto Cream Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• Your favorite pasta 

For the Chicken Mixture:

• Approximately 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in to 1 inch pieces
• 6 oz package of fresh sliced mushrooms
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• 1 tbsp butter
• Salt & pepper, to taste

For the Amaretto Cream Sauce:

• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ cup amaretto liqueur
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
• ¼ cup sliced green onions, with tops (add last)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Melt 1 tbsp butter over medium high heat in saute/skillet.
2. Add garlic, chicken, mushrooms, salt & pepper.
3. Saute approximately 8 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
4. Using slotted spoon, remove chicken mixture from pan & place in a bowl. Set aside. Leave the drippings in the pan to make the amaretto cream sauce.
5. Add 2 tbsp butter to the chicken drippings and melt over medium high heat.
6. Add amaretto liqueur, stir and simmer until it is cooked "down"; approximately 3-4 minutes.
7. Add chicken broth and bring back to a simmer, stirring. Cook for another 7-10 minutes.
8. Now would be a good time to start boiling your water for your pasta. Cook pasta according to package directions.
9. Add heavy whipping cream, bringing back to a simmer again, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it's the desired thickness/consistency that you want.
10. Return chicken mixture to amaretto cream sauce.
11. Add green onions & mix well.
12. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
13. Serve over pasta.
