Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken pieces.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough and divide it into 4 triangles.

Step 5

Wrap each chicken breast with a crescent dough triangle, ensuring the chicken is completely enclosed, and place the wrapped chicken seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Bake the chicken for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 7

While the chicken bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 8

Add the sliced almonds and toast them for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove half of the toasted almonds and set them aside for garnish.

Step 9

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet with the remaining almonds and stir to coat.

Step 10

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken. Remove from heat.

Step 12

When the chicken is finished baking, plate each piece and spoon the almond sauce over the top.

Step 13

Garnish with the reserved toasted almonds and serve immediately.
