How to Make Almond Crusted Chicken With A Strawberry Balsamic Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup slivered almonds, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
  4. Dip each chicken breast (about 4, 6 oz each) in the egg mixture, then dredge in the almond mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  7. While the chicken is baking, prepare the strawberry balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon water.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the strawberry balsamic glaze over the top and serve immediately.
  10. Garnish with fresh strawberries and extra slivered almonds (optional).
