Almond Crusted Chicken 

Why I love almonds so much? The top reasons:
You can read all about the health benefits of almonds here: Almonds, the world's healthiest food.

So because they are so healthy, I decided to use them to bread my chicken, rather than use the usual high calorie tortilla chip. The result was pure bliss. All of us agreed that this is the way I will be breading my chicken from now on. I can't wait to make a chicken Caesar wrap this way! Healthy Almond Crusted Chicken

16 ounces skinless chicken fillet

 Ground up your almonds in a food processor until they resemble bread crumbs. Mix together the ground almonds, paprika, Parmesan, salt and pepper into a shallow dish and set aside. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels, then cut into even-sized long portions. Whisk your egg. Coat each piece of chicken with egg, then dip evenly into the almond mixture. Place each chicken stick on a lined baking sheet and drizzle or spray lightly with olive oil. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on the outside. They are great served by themselves, or  I serve mine over super greens and homemade ranch. at January 13, 2014
