Alice’s culinary journey was a testament to her love for the almond’s exquisite qualities. These humble nuts, with their elegant, slightly sweet flavor, became the cornerstone of her culinary repertoire.

The almonds added a delightful crunch and a subtle sweetness that left her guests in awe.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almonds, finely ground (almond flour)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow bowl, combine the finely ground almonds (almond flour), breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix them well to create the almond crust mixture.
- In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
- Take one chicken breast at a time and dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it’s evenly coated.
- Then, transfer the chicken breast to the almond crust mixture, pressing it firmly to coat both sides of the chicken with the almond mixture. Repeat this step with all the chicken breasts.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the almond-crusted chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and place them in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the almond-crusted chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Alice’s almond-crusted chicken is a delightful dish with a crispy, nutty crust and a tender, flavorful interior. It’s perfect for a special occasion or a gourmet dinner at home. Enjoy!
