Almond Crusted Chicken with Honey Sauce

Almond Crusted Chicken with Honey Sauce
A Cook's Country Test Kitchen recipe that I served with Waffles. Oh Man. So Good.

( Amount given in parenthesis is for smaller serving size.)

What you Need:

1 Cup Finely Ground Almonds (1/2)

2 Cups Japanese Style Bread Crumbs ( These are what really make this work!) (1)

2 Large Eggs (1)

3 Tbsp Honey (1.5)

1/2 Cup Dijon ( I used Spicy Brown) , 6 Tbsp set aside. (1/4, 3)

8 Thin Boneless Chicken Breasts ( I used only 3, that's all I needed.)

Salt and Pepper

1/2 Cup Oil for Frying

* Optional : 1 Tbsp chopped chives


Combine Bread Crumbs and Almonds.

Mix together 6 (3) Tbsp mustard and honey ( add chives, if using). Set aside.

 In a separate bowl, beat egg and the rest of the mustard together.

Rinse and Dry chicken. Season with salt and pepper.

Dip in egg then in bread crumbs, let dry for about 5 minutes.

Heat oil over medium heat. Fry chicken in hot oil until brown on both sides.

Serve with Honey Mustard Sauce.

And Waffles. This is really good with Waffles!
