INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/8 cup crushed Whole Almonds
1 large Egg
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In another bowl, combine the crushed almonds with additional seasonings if desired.
Brush the chicken lightly with olive oil, then dip it in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the chicken into the crushed almonds, making sure the almond mixture adheres well to both sides.
Place the almond-crusted chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
