Almond-Crusted Chicken

Teresa Ambra

Gluten Free Living – 2014

I love this awesome Almond-Crusted Chicken recipe. It’s a much healthier, clean-eating recipe then many baked chicken recipes, too. I used almond meal instead of bread crumbs to coat the chicken. Bread crumbs are made with high fructose corn syrup, so I try to use them sparingly these days.

I added a 6-cheese Italian blend with Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Fontina, Mozzarella and Provolone cheeses. It’s lip-smacking good. For seasonings I used thyme, lemon pepper, parsley and salt. Then to top off the chicken I added sliced almonds. Almond-Crusted Chicken rocked and it was super good over salad, too!

I’ve had this recipe mulling on my brain for the past couple of weeks. It finally dawned on me that almond meal would be a tasty, healthy replacement for bread crumbs in recipes. I was right. It turned out so wonderfully. This recipe is really easy, too.

It takes 5 minutes to coat the chicken. Then you bake it for about an hour until it’s cooked through. That’s all! While I baked only two boneless, skinless chicken breasts, the coating is enough for four.

If you’re looking for a tasty way to make chicken and you’re trying to eat healthier, gluten free recipes, this chicken dish is for you. Serve it as a main dish entree or on top of a salad. It’s great both ways. We loved the almond flavor and crunchiness in this dish. The thyme, parsley and lemon pepper add a savory delight to this tasty entree. It’s a recipe we will make often.
