Chicken Almondine
Chicken Almondine pairs tender, pan-browned chicken with a buttery, nutty sauce studded with toasted almonds and fragrant Herbes de Provence. A quick white wine and chicken broth reduction adds brightness and depth, finished with green onions for a fresh lift. It’s an elegant weeknight dinner that tastes richly savory with subtle herbal notes and a delicate crunch.

- 1
Place flour, Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake gently to mix evenly. Add the chicken tenderloins, close the bag, and toss until they are coated with the flour mixture.
- 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter sizzles, add the almonds and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes, taking care not to burn them.
- 3
Pour the skillet contents through a wire mesh sieve, catching the almonds in the sieve and the butter in a heat-proof bowl. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then return the butter to the skillet, setting the almonds aside for later.
- 4
When the butter is hot again, add the floured and seasoned tenderloins. Cook until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- 5
Add only the white parts of the onions and the minced garlic to the skillet around the tenderloins; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 6
Pour the white wine and chicken broth around the tenderloins, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken from the skillet to a serving plate and keep warm.
- 7
Increase the heat to medium. When the liquid is bubbling, return the almonds to the skillet. Adjust the seasoning, if needed, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes (See Cook's Note.)
- 8
Pour the almonds and sauce over the chicken tenderloins. Garnish with the reserved sliced green onion tops.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
