Hello all!
Looking for a new and healthy dinner?  This almond chicken dish is a wonderful and simple meal you can put together!  Chef took out some of the ingredients for coating a chicken with some new healthier ones!  Almonds also are so healthy and a super food!  We liked how creative this dish was and some of the ingredients we used.  Ones you don't always use in a dinner, we weren't sure how this would come out but it really was wonderful.  A light dish paired with a potato and vegetable makes for a wonderful meal.  Check out below how to see how we did this!  Chef used Gluten Free Bread crumbs for dish also making it Gluten Free!

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

1 Cup Yogurt
1/4 Cup Dijon Mustard
1 Cup Bread Crumbs (We used Gluten Free)
1/2 Cup Sliced and then crushed Almonds

4-6 Thin Sliced Chicken Breast

Take the check out and salt and pepper both sides letting it sit out while you continue to prep.
In a dredging pan Mix the yogurt and mustard together
In a separate dredging pan mix the bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken in the mustard and yogurt mix then move them to the other pan and coat.
Coat them in the bread crumbs well.
Place on a pan and cook at 350 for about 30 minutes.
Plate up after!

This dish was light and very enjoyable.  There was a lot of flavor and it was simple enough to make.  The gluten free bread crumbs were good and didn't change the dish at all.  You can use regular bread crumbs however if you want.  With a little bit of prepping the dish is really easy.  Most of the time is done cooking in the oven.  Be sure to check out our video below to see how we put this together!
