Pasta with chicken and almond sauce
Description
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice chicken breasts crosswise into strips. Chop tomatoes, basil, and pepper. Meanwhile, melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sear chicken until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add shallot to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, roasted pepper, and ground almonds. Pour in wine and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in cream and almond milk, bring to a boil. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Add basil. Return chicken to the saucepan and cook until heated through. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of cooking liquid. Add pasta to the sauce, adding reserved liquid as needed. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.
