ALMOND CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS image

I adopted this orphan recipe. Poor thing--nobody wanted it, but it sounded so good I decided to give it a home in my kitchen! I am tweaking it just a wee bit to suit my preferences, but not much. I will make it this weekend and post pictures.

I'm not a fan of almond-crusted chicken, but my family loved it. They said it was the best chicken they've ever had.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
