How to Make Baked Almond Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine slivered almonds, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil and Dijon mustard.
  4. Place pounded chicken breasts in the baking dish. Brush both sides of each chicken breast with the olive oil and Dijon mustard mixture.
  5. Press the almond mixture firmly onto both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring a good coating.
  6. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
