A delicious and gluten-free main that you must try!
We love this recipe for Almond-Crusted Chicken Breast with Spinach for many reasons, but first of which is because it is crusted chicken and it’s better for you!! It also happens to taste delicious and not use breadcrumbs at all to achieve a tasty golden crust.
If you’re feeling board with regular old grilled chicken but want to keep things healthy, this dish is it.
