Almond Chicken

So this is another favorite at home. It's almost like fried chicken but better! I found this a while back looking for something different. I've been meaning to try it with pecans or even pistachios, but I haven't gotten to that just yet. The chicken does not get dried out, which is what I was worried about the first time.

Almond Chicken

Ingredients:

1 c unblanched almonds - ground
1-1/2 tsp Paprika
2 large eggs
4 chicken breasts
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Butter melted

Directions:
1. Mix almonds and paprika in a bowl.
2. Salt and pepper chicken. Dip Chicken in eggs (beaten) and then in Almond mixture.
3. Put chicken on a plate or cookie sheet and set in fridge for minimum 1 hour.
4. Heat up oilve oil and butter in frying pan. Toast chicken on both sides until medium brown and creates a crust.
5. If you have a wire rack or something like it. I use a grill flat basket for this. Put it on the cookie sheet to keep the chicken off the bottom of the pan to keep it out of drippings when cooking in the oven.
6. Bake at 350*F for about 30-45 mins, or until chicken is done cooking.
