I loved making this delicious and easy almond-crusted chicken recipe. It took me about 20 minutes of prep time, and it was just a fun and yummy chicken treat. The kids even had seconds, and when my husband got home from work, my son asked for more.
This is perfect when you want some texture in your chicken dishes. I just love how the almond coats well and how crunchy it is when you take a bite in it. It also adds this earthy flavour that you will definitely love.
