Almond Crusted Chicken!

Almond Crusted Chicken!

This recipe is definitely going into my usual rotation of dinners. It was super easy and so good!

Not going to lie, I am a little scared of my food processor. I have only used it a couple times so I find it intimidating! However, look at how great this crust came out!!! Conquered the unknown and went for it! 

You Will Need: 

4-6 Chicken Breasts (on the thinner side)

1 cup almonds

1 tbsp. oregano

1 tbsp. paprika

1 tsp. thyme

1 tbsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. salt

olive oil

food processor 

Directions:

1A. If you need to trim your chicken and/or cut it into thinner strips, I would do that and wash your hands before starting anything else!

1. Preheat your oven to 375 and spray a baking pan with nonstick!

2. Place almonds and all seasoning in your food processor and turn it on! 

It should look like this:

3. Crack an egg and scramble it with a fork, this will be your dipping sauce. Place almond crust mixture out on a plate and smooth it out so it takes up as much surface as possible. 

4. Take one chicken breast at a time and go through the following steps:

- Lightly salt both sides

- Dip in egg

- Place on the almond crust dish, cover both sides

- Place on baking pan

Like so: 

5. Once all of your chicken is laid out on a baking pan, lightly coat in olive oil!

6. Bake for 22 minutes on each side! I used a butter knife to carefully flip them over in between.

7. Enjoy!!!
