Preparation

Step 1

To prepare chicken: Cut chicken breasts in 4 pieces. Pound each to 1/8 inch thick. In large frying pan, melt butter and heat oil. Season 1 side of each breast with creole seasoning. Place seasoned side face down in pan. Saute on medium high, about 3 to 4 minutes.

To prepare vegetables: While chicken is cooking, cut mushrooms into slices. Cut green pepper into l-inch cubes. Dice onion. Add vegetables to corner of pan. Saute. Turn chicken breasts. Add creole seasoning. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes, or until done. (Inside of meat should be white, but still juicy.) Remove chicken and keep warm on a platter. Continue cooking vegetables, adding salt and white pepper to taste. Add slivered almonds and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until toasted.
