Almond Crusted Chicken
The almonds turn this otherwise ordinary chicken dish into a crunchy, nutritious meal that packs a healthy dose of vitamin E and fiber.
Ingredients 1 egg white 3 teaspoons water 6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded thin 1/4 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped Celtic Sea Salt and pepper to taste
Directions 1. Whisk egg white, water, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Dip the chicken breast into the egg mixture and dredge in almonds. 2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with unrefined coconut oil. 3. Sautee chicken on one side over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until cooked through.

Just made the chicken for dinner. Delicious!
Looks tasty, I most definitely will be trying this recepie.
I love almond crusted food. I also enjoy baking tilapia with a little butter, lemon pepper and coarsely chopped almond slices.
Chicken and almond are so good together!
it was very good..
I’m impressed with this recipe. Most almond chicken concoctions have a thick bready coating that’s been deep-fried in peanut or canola oil. This recipe achieves the same thing, a crunchy outer coating, without the batter and the coconut oil lends such a nice subtle taste to the overall flavor. Well done!
this looks very nice but its only chicken. Is this for dinner so that you would eat it with a salad – or something else
this must be good. i will make it tomorrow
Carolyn, you can pair this chicken with sides that are appropriate for your type – a salad or vegetable would be a great idea.
I like this. this looks very nice chicken…..
This sounds delicious and a healthy alternative to original fried chicken. I wonder if another type of oil can be used instead of coconut oil. I suppose it does add a unique flavor. I will try this and comment later.
I will try this with oatmeal or crushe corn flakes as I can’t eat nuts.
Sounds super-delicious!
I made this for my wife’s lunch one day and her co-workers all want to marry me now.
A great side to this as sauteed apple slices.
I am making this for dinner and I will serve it with brown rice and a steamed vegetable
I will let you know how well this taste.
Trying the almond chicken tonight. Sure hope it’s a hit. Will let you know.
Made this last night with the cauliflower mashed potatoes! Sooooo Good! My husband and I loved it. Thanks for all the amazing recipes.
Mmmm….
I can’t wait to try out this recipe. looks scrumptiously delicious…
I like the idea of serving it with brown rice and steamed veggies..
I think this sounds so yummy ! Can’t wait to try it soon.
I love almonds, so this recipe looks delicious to me. I can’t wait to try it.
it must be tasty mmmm
I made a few changes to this recipe … I put salt, pepper & garlic powder in some rice flour and coated the chicken before dipping it in the whipped (whole)egg. Then I crumbed the chicken with almond meal. I thought it tasted better than the original recipe!
my almonds wouldn’t stay on the chicken any suggestions?
I made these and they were wonderful. I did slice the breasts into 3 ounce strips prior to cooking for easy portion control
Hmmmm… yummy, i like almond. Thank you for this recipe.
This was AMAZING! Made this tonight for dinner and served it with steamed fresh green beans and sliced tomatoes. It was unbelievably good and perfectly satisfying. I did make two small modifications. I used skinless chicken tenderloins rather than pounded chicken breast; and I only had whole almonds, so I chopped about 1 c. of them into a fine texture (similar to bread crumbs) and coated the chicken with that instead of the slivered almonds. Truly fabulous! My husband thinks that our “new nutrition plan” (which is what I call DSP) has turned me into a gourmet chef! He LOVES the food I make now and really raved about this dish.
Make this for dinner tonight and it was awesome! Husband and son both approved. It’s a keeper! Thanks for posting it.
Just joined this program today and have been checking out some of the receipes while I am at work. Can’t wait to start cooking !!! I look forward to my new way of eating.
Perfect for my health plan and use a lot of your recipes. Have lowered my colestral from 6.3 to 3.45. It is rewarding to eat properly and get good results.
Takes for posting your recipes.
You say to coat the chicken in chopped almonds , But I thought you destroy the oil in nuts if you heat them .. frying them on the chicken the same ?
I made this tonight for my family and it turned out yummy! A bit bland but could be turned around by adding more spices/salt/pepper. I also ground up some almonds to a fine grain and dipped the chicken in it. I cooked it on my Foreman and it came out great! Will definitely make again
I so excited to have found this site .I feel like I’m on my way to a healthy lifestyle.
It looks delicious But won’t the baking make the oil in the almond go rancid? It may be better to sprinkle the raw chopped almonds over the chicken After baking?
it looks yummy,very tempting i have to try this for my family thanks
Ok a few questions. Is there a different type of oil you can saute it in? I haven’t found any coconut oil where I live, also has anyone tried pecans instead of almonds? Does it turn out the same? Ive never been a big fan of almonds.
Yumm! I have long loved nut-crusted chicken! Another yummy thing you can have w/ it is to slice up some red onion and saute until it starts to wilt, and add a touch of good balsamic vinegar to it. Just a nice side dish!
Any diet program that includes Isabel is good enough for me….
I agree with your Almond Crusted Chicken | The Diet Solution Program, great post.
