ALMOND-CRUSTED CATALAN CHICKEN
This really turns plain-old-chicken into something interesting. I've doubled this recipe and it works just as well. Goes great with some Basmati rice and a green salad. Prep time includes marinating the chickens. Use matzoh meal instead of breadcrumbs and this is perfect for Passover.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The chicken was a bit dry and the almond crust was too hard.
