How to Make Almond Delight Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place 1 cup crushed almond cereal (or similar crunchy cereal) in a large resealable bag. Crush further with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
  3. In a shallow dish, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
  4. Dip each chicken breast (about 1.5 lbs total) in the garlic butter mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Dredge the buttered chicken in the crushed cereal, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Place the breaded chicken in a baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
  8. While the chicken is baking, prepare your favorite stir-fry vegetables.
  9. Once the chicken is cooked, spoon warm sweet and sour sauce (about 1/2 cup) over the chicken.
