Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Skim milk |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1/2 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 3/4 cup | Almonds |
| 2 | Boneless skinless chicken breasts |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk and egg until well combined.
-
Divide the flour: Place half of it in a separate bowl, and mix the almonds with the remaining flour in another bowl.
-
Season: Stir 1/4 teaspoon of salt into each bowl.
-
Prepare chicken: Slice chicken breasts into finger-sized strips.
-
Season chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken strips.
-
Coat chicken: Lightly coat each chicken strip with flour, then dip it into the milk mixture, and finally, coat it with the almond-flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
-
Heat oil: In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
-
Fry chicken: Add chicken strips to the pan in batches, cooking until golden brown on each side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side. Note: The chicken will not be fully cooked at this stage.
-
Transfer to baking sheet: Once browned, transfer the chicken strips to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, perhaps with a side of coleslaw and oven fries for a complete meal experience. Enjoy your delightful almond-crusted chicken fingers! 🍗🌟
