Almond Crusted Chicken Delight

Wow. I suck at this whole blogging thing.  I have been so busy between 2 part-time jobs, school, church, trying to find time for family, and getting back into a routine and the whole "I have to actually go to bed at a decent hour" thing. Some days I seriously feel like I might drowned in it all.  But at the same time I need to remember that at least I have a job...or 2 and that school will only benefit me in the end.  I'll get my break soon enough though, because our big one year anniversary is coming up (crazy I know!) and Colt and I are planning to go away for a lonnggg relaxing weekend. (Feel free to pitch in some ideas of where we could go!)  ;o)


Any who, now for the real reason why i'm here.. I have been dying to get this recipe that my hubby makes all the time that is really good (and if he's making it, healthy) on here because it's too good to miss out on. It's an Almond Crusted Chicken recipe and it is simply genius.

Now for the good stuff!

INGREDIENTS: (For 3 large chicken breasts)

Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup Egg Whites
3/4 cup chopped Almonds
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1. Chop almonds in a food processor or blender.
2. Take raw chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel or napkin.  Dip into egg whites.
3. Cover chicken with chopped almonds.
4. Put chicken breasts into greased, uncovered baking dish.
5. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes (depending on the thickness of each breast) at 375F.
6. With 5 minutes left, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Enjoy!

Well, there ya go folks.  Hope you all enjoy the recipe! We usually serve green beans or asparagus and quinoa with our almond chicken, it really would be good with anything though.  Here's a photo of the chicken before being put into the oven. Eat on! :o)

Stay Well,
