One pan, almond & Parmesan crusted chicken with mustard sauce is the perfect easy doable weeknight meal!
Monday yet again?!!
Let’s change things a bit here, shall we? I know we all struggle and try hard to keep Mondays meatless but in my opinion, when the food is this simple and healthy and good and comes together from kitchen to table in flat 30 mins, why go for meatless Monday?
Lately when ever I am running short on time, I like throwing together Parmesan chicken as it’s so delicious, cooks easily , is pretty healthy if you keep the amount of Parmesan you add in check. So last night, I decided to change things a bit by adding my *CURRENT FAVORITE SNACK* Blue diamond sriracha almonds and let me tell you that it’s our new favorite weeknight dinner. Its packed with flavor , the chicken cooks into this really soft thin breast with tons of sriracha almonds & Parmesan flavor and then you dip it in this gorgeous mustard sauce. BEST THING EVER!
START to FINISH = 30 MINS!! Yes you can do it!

- 2 chicken breasts, each sliced in half so each yields 2 thinner breasts
- ½ cup Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- Juice of ½ lime
- ¼ cup water
- Clean the chicken and slice in half. After slicing the chicken, rub each breast with olive oil on both the sides. Add almonds in a food processor and process until they turn into sort of bread crumbs.
- Transfer them to a plate and add shredded parmesan, salt, black pepper & garlic powder and mix. Taste ?& adjust seasoning if needed.
- Coat both the sides of the olive oil coated chicken with this mix and keep them aside.
- Heat oil in a non stick pan and transfer the chicken breasts. Let them cook on low for good 5-7 minutes, flip and repeat until it's all cooked through and there is no pink left.
- Serve immediately with salad of your choice.

I love the crunchy coating on this chicken, and that mustard sauce looks delish! Easy meals are just what I need these busy summer days!
Sriracha almonds? They sound like something I wouldn’t be able to stop eating. Yum!
This chicken looks perfect, Ami! I absolutely love the sriracha almond crust. Those almonds are my favorite so I have a feeling I would devour this dish in no time!
Wow, sriracha almonds sound amazing!!! <3 What a great idea to use them as a breading… and I love how quick and easy it is!
Yes it ended up being delicious Jess!
This chicken looks absolutely divine Ami. I can hardly believe you can whip this up in 30 minutes flat. I’ve used macadamia nuts and pecans as breading for meats before but never almonds. I’m going to need to give this one a try. P.S. Also loving that mustard sauce. 🙂
