Almond Crusted Chicken
Originally found in Southern Living 2007 Annual Recipes (p 54)
1/4 cup almonds
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tsp jerk seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken cuts
olive oil, as needed
In a food processor, combine almonds, breadcrumbs, jerk seasoning and salt. Pulse until well combined and uniform. Place in a shallow dish. Brush olive oil on chicken and coat with almond mixture. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet and cook chicken over medium-high heat, 4 minutes on each side. If you have thicker slices of chicken, cook until golden brown on each side, then place in a baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven until center is no longer pink.
My Notes:
Another non-dairy recipe! I really liked this recipe. It has a nice crunch and a nice kick, but with flavors that I'm not really used to using. It's good. I served mine over rice, but it could just as easily be served with some corn (grilled corn, anyone?) or other vegetables. Enjoy!
