Almond-Orange Chicken!

I think that many have done a take on this, but some may not make their chicken gluten and dairy free. This chicken, however, is completely gluten and dairy free!

I served this with corn on the cob and cucumbers and it was just the perfect size.

Tom and I have been portioning as we have both been losing weight, but we've both kind of reached a stand-still. So, I just made one 8 oz. chicken breast and we split it.

Tweak the recipe if you need to make for more chicken.
