APRICOT CHICKEN & GREEN BEANS WITH ALMOND SLIVERS

Menu Planner Recipes:
Chicken Ingredients:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each)
4 dried apricots, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine
2 shallots, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Green Bean Ingredients:
1 cup thin green beans
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon wine vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup (sugar free)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
Salt and pepper (optional)

For chicken, heat oven to 375F. Place chicken in glass baking dish. Saute remaining ingredients together until tender; transfer to blender (or food processor) and puree. Spoon over chicken and bake until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, for beans, steam or blanch beans until tender but still firm and bright green. Sauté shallots in olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup until translucent. Add almonds and brown slightly; toss with beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired. Serve alongside chicken.
