Chicken Amandine Preparation
PREHEAT OVEN to 425F. Sandwich chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4" thick. Place almond slivers in food processor and pulse until the consistency of finely grated parmesean cheese (leave a few large chunks for texture).
Prepare three plates: a) Egg wash -- beat one egg with the whole milk b) Flour and salt c) Mixture of parmesean cheese and almond slivers In a 12-inch oven-proof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat on top of the stove.
Dredge the chicken in flour, then shake it off, then dredge it in the egg wash (remove excess) and finally the cheese/almond mixture.
This is very important -- make sure it's nearly smoking (or just starting to smoke). You must get it hot enough to sear the chicken so it doesn't stick to the pan. Turn saute pan down to medium high.
Saute for 3-5 minutes on each side, uncovered, watching it so it doesn't burn. Sprinkle with salt. Remove chicken to platter; place in oven. Optional -- add lemon juice and chicken broth to pan for a nice sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve.

I really enjoyed this again.
Some tips:
(1) Keep pan on medium heat. Use ample oil to minimize sticking. Let it sear but not burn. It browns very rapidly; check after 2-3 minutes.
(2) Have the oven warmed to 350 degrees before starting; you're only going to brown the chicken in the saute pan, and then put it in the oven to cook the rest of the way.
(3) Consider making a pan sauce by deglazing the fond left at the bottom of the pan with chicken broth (or white wine, or both). Add about 2/3 to 1 cup of liquid total, scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan and then simmer to reduce by half. Add a tablespoon of butter at the end if desired for a richer sauce.
