Almond Crusted Chicken

I am not a big fan of chicken, so whenever I find a way to make it more interesting, I try it out.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, chicken breasts, pounded flat
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 2 tbsp raw almond butter
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 cup slivered raw almonds
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Grease a baking sheet with butter.
• In a small bowl, stir together the almond butter, olive oil, lemon juice, thyme and garlic until well mixed.
• Transfer the pounded chicken breasts to the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the almond butter mixture over the meat.
• Top the chicken with slivered almonds and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
