Ingredients
  1. 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  2. 1 cup almond meal
  3. 2 large eggs
  4. 1 pound chicken cutlets (thin-sliced chicken breast)
  5. 2 T almond oil (or olive oil)
Instructions
  1. Put the almond slivers onto a piece of wax paper. Using a rolling pin or can, roll them into smaller pieces.
  2. Mix the almond slivers in with the almond meal (still on the wax paper).
  3. Break and scramble the eggs in a flat soup bowl.
  4. Dip the chicken into eggs, then into almond mixture. Coat both sides and set aside.
  5. Set the coated chicken pieces into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to "set" the coating.
  6. Add the oil to a skillet and brown the chicken pieces on both sides.
  7. You can finish cooking the chicken in the skillet or transfer it to a baking dish (coated with oil so it doesn't stick) and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
Notes
  1. I've used both thin-sliced chicken and full chicken breasts. It's much better with the thinner chicken.
  2. Serve with capers sprinkled on the top for a great taste.
