Ingredients

  • 2 medium Chicken breast boneless skinless butterflied see notes
  • 1 cup Sliced almonds
  • 3/4 cup Seasoned Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup Canola oil
  • Fresh parsley garnish

Romesco Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Roasted red peppers drained
  • 2 tbsp Sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp Sun dried tomatoes
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat/parchment paper. Set aside.
  • For the chicken: Mix the almonds and breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Coat each piece of chicken with the flour, then coat both sides with the egg, then coat well with the almond/breadrumb mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to pack it on tightly.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan or skillet on medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken on both sides to golden brown. (Be careful and gentle so the breading doesnt all fall off).
  • Then place on the baking sheet and cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees using a thermometer, about 6 to 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, place all of the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend until thick and smooth. Taste and adjust any of the ingredients as needed, blend in a teaspoon of water at a time to smooth out if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the sauce with the chicken and bread. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

Pro tips: Butterfly the chicken: Lay the breasts down on a cutting board, using a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board slice the breasts through the middle (carefully) all the way in half.
