Brie and Apricot Chicken with Almonds

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Extra virgin olive oil

small wedge of brie – sliced thin

¼ cup apricot preserves

½ cup sliced almonds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken between two sheets of wax paper or in a gallon bag and gently pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute for about 3 minutes per side, until golden colored. Remove chicken from pan and place in a greased baking dish. Spread 2 tbsp of preserves on chicken (I usually don’t measure - just smear it on) and cover with slices of brie. Sprinkle almonds on top. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until cheese is melted. At this point, I usually turn on the broiler for a minute to get the cheese to get a little more melted and bubbly.
