Categories: Poultry

Serves: 8 Servings

Ingredients:

1/4 c Almonds, sliced
1 Medium onion, sliced
1 Stalk celery sliced
1 Carrot sliced
1 Sprig parsley
1 Small bayleaf
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 ts Rosemary
10 3/4 oz Condensed chicken broth
1 c Water
4 12 oz chicken breasts
1/3 c Honey
Green grapes optional
Watercress optional

Instructions:
The day ahead, arrange sliced almonds in a single layer in a shallow baking
pan. Broil 1 minute or until almonds are golden brown. Watch as almonds
burn very quickly. May have to stir them several times. Transfer and cover
for next day.

In a 6 qt. kettle, combine onion, celery, carrot, parsley, salt, pepper,
rosemary, bay leaf, undiluted chicken broth and water. Bring mixture to a
boil and add the chicken breasts and cover. Simmer 30 minutes or until
chicken is tender. Remove from heat and place immediately in the
refrigerator to chill overnight.

Next day, place chicken mixture over low heat and cook until chicken is
heated through, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from broth and place skin
side up in a large, shallow baking pan. Spoon 1 cup chicken broth into the
pan. Strain remaining broth; discard vegetables and save broth for use in
other recipes for soups or stews. Using a pastry brush, brush chicken with
half of the honey. Broil, 4 inches from heat source, for 2 minutes. Brush
again with honey and broil until hicken is glazed and golden brown.

Remove chicken from broiler and arrange the honey-glazed breasts on a
heated platter. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and garnish, if desired, with
green grapes and crisp watercress. Serve immediately.
