That's a great twist on a normal meal. I usually use almond flour but I will have to try it with chopped almonds soon. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThe flavor of this recipe was great, but I hope you can help with one problem! I couldn't get the almonds to stay coated on the chicken AT ALL! Now, I did substitute chicken broth for the dry white wine. Not sure if that was a problem, but it was very frustrating! I'm loving your blog!!

ReplyDeleteSo, I haven't had issues with the almonds sticking to the chicken. Maybe chop your almonds a little more? I can't imagine the chicken broth substitute making that big of a difference. Next time I make it, I will try with chicken broth and see if I get the same results and let you know. :)
Marlena, this was awesome! My boyfriend and I are just venturing in to the world of Paleo eating, and I'm looking for new recipes to replace some old, non-paleo favorites. This one definitely makes the list! I did use egg as a binder after reading that there could be trouble with the almonds. It worked like a dream.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to check out what else you have on this blog!
I sliced 1/2 the almonds and used my hand held chopper for the other half (mostly to save time!) and the "dust" from chopping stuck to the chicken great leaving the roasted sliced almonds to spread over the kale! It was great! It works great without adding any salt other than what comes in the reduced salt chicken broth! thanks.
