Almond Crusted Chicken - Hammer & Chisel Recipe

I'm in my third week of Beachbody's newest program, The Master's Hammer and Chisel, and one of the recipes included in the meal plan and recipe guide is Almond Crusted Chicken. The recipe in suggests to pair it with some mixed veggies, but I only had broccoli on hand. I steamed the broccoli, and then drizzled it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. I also made a brown rice-quinoa blend to go with this dish.

The recipe uses almond flour for the light coating, which gives it an extra crispy coating! It reminded me of Chicken Francaise, without the lemon-butter-white wine sauce!

It was delicious and healthy!

Because Hammer and Chisel uses the same container system as the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Insanity Max 30, and Cize, it can be used with any of those programs.
