Equipment

  • broiler pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c almonds
  • 1/4 tsp salt Kosher
  • 1 tsp dry ground mustard
  • 1 pkg chicken breasts boneless & skinless - cut into strips
  • 2 tbs honey

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F to ensure it’s ready for baking.

Prepare the Almond Coating

  • In a blender, add all the dry ingredients and blend until they form small chunks. This will be the crispy coating for the chicken.

Coat the Chicken

  • Drizzle honey all over the chicken.
  • On a large plate, spread out half of the almond mixture.
  • Place the chicken on top, then sprinkle the remaining almond mixture over the chicken. Press gently to coat evenly on all sides.

Prepare for Baking

  • Place the coated chicken on a broiler pan for even cooking.
  • Pour ½ cup of water into the lower pan to help keep the chicken moist while baking.

Bake to Perfection

  • Bake at 400°F until the chicken is fully cooked. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken.

Notes

Note: Cooking time varies based on the thickness of your chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature—it should reach 165°F for safe consumption.
Serve with steamed broccoli and cooked rice.
