Jillian's Almond Crusted Chicken Breast



(Serves 4)

1/2 cup unsalted almonds, toasted
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 tsp grated lemon zest
1 T. fresh lemon juice
3/4 dried rosemary*
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp salt
4 (4-5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

*Note: I did not use the rosemary because I don't like it and it was great without it so if you don't like it just leave it out!
  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • In the work bowl of a food processor, place the almonds, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, garlic, and salt. Process until coarsely chopped; the mixture will be a thick paste.
  • Arrange the chicken breast halves in a baking dish. Divide the almond paste and spread on the breasts; pat down to cover each breast completely.
  • Roast in the oven until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer reads 165-170 degrees, about 10 minutes. Loosely tent with foil and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
