This unique twist on classic chicken strips combines savory spices with the sweet, nutty warmth of Amaretto di Saronno. The chicken is browned until golden, then simmered with fresh mushrooms and a splash of liqueur to create a rich, glossy sauce. Bright lemon zest and juice cut through the richness, balancing the flavors perfectly. Served in crispy patty shells rather than on a plate, it offers a delightful contrast of textures. It&# 226;€™s an elegant yet approachable dish that feels special enough for date night but simple enough for a cozy weekend dinner. The almond-infused sauce makes every bite memorable.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and curry powder until evenly coated.
  3. Dredge the seasoned chicken strips in flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chicken strips and brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add the sliced fresh mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned.
  7. Stir in the Amaretto di Saronno, grated lemon rind, and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  8. Return the chicken strips to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
  10. Pour the broth mixture into the skillet and stir continuously over low heat until the sauce bubbles and thickens.
  11. Taste the sauce and add more salt if necessary.
  12. Spoon the chicken and sauce mixture into prepared patty shells.
  13. Garnish with diced tomato and fresh parsley before serving.
