NEw RECIPE!!!!! Almond Crusted

Chicken can be VERY boring to eat. So I try to spice it up with something new. This time I made a Maple Almond Chicken! AND it was HUSBAND approved. My husband loves food, but he can be picky about some things I make and especially when I try something new, BUT he loved it and when I told him that it was something I could do with Salmon, he got even more excited, he loves fish. So the next time I make this I will be making it with fish, instead of chicken.

It is easy to make, doesn't take long to prepare, and is easy clean up. Those 3 must haves in my book when I am in the chicken cooking!!!

 

 

Easy Maple Almond Chicken

 

 

4 Thin Sliced Chicken Breast
garlic powder
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon (plus more to garnish)
1/2 cup almond meal

Preheat oven to 350.

Season Chicken on both sides with garlic powder.

Combine maple syrup and lemon juice in a shallow bowl. Put almond meal in a separate shallow bowl.

Dip Chicken in maple mixture, then dredge in almond meal. Place on a greased or foil or Silpat-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350.

If you want a crisper coating, finish off under the broiler until the almond coating just starts to brown.

 

This can also be done with Salmon

Grain Free / Gluten Free Burger Buns

Made another successful dinner last night! Last night I made hamburgers / turkey burgers for dinner with quinoa and asparagus. Normally we don't use break for our burgers because of the gluten and they are processed. But tonight I made grain free / gluten free buns. These buns are clean, fixed approved, and not proceed!!! And the best thing of all they were approved by the hubby!!! He loved it and was so excited to have a burger with a bun! They were light and delicious, yet filling at the same time.

Do you eat processed foods? Do you make your own food? These buns are easy, delicious, and worth the 5-10 minutes it takes to make them.

Recipe - Makes 1 bun

1/4 cup of almond meal
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of quinoa flour

Directions
Mix the almond meal, quinoa meal, and water together.
Use either a Tortilla press or a Frying pan.
Take half of the batter and make a ball.
Place ball in tortilla press and press down but not hard, want the pun to be thicker than a tortilla shell. If you are using a frying pan flatten ball to the thickness of a bun.
Flip the bun after 3-5 minutes.
Repeat with the other half of the batter.
Once burger is cooked place it on the bun and put it back in the frying pan or tortilla press and heat the bun and crisp it up a bit.
