How to Make Almond Crusted Chicken Breast

  1. Whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup olive oil to the vinaigrette and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Season both sides of 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each) with salt and pepper. Press 1/2 cup slivered almonds onto one side of each chicken breast to create a crust.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, almond-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the chicken cooks, sauté 5 ounces fresh spinach with 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette in a separate pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until wilted.
  7. Serve each chicken breast on a bed of spinach. Drizzle with any remaining vinaigrette and season with extra salt and pepper to taste.
