Tuesday Dinner: Chicken with almond crust

This dinner was really simple and quick. Couscous is a great source of carbohydrate for quick dinner because it takes only like 10 minutes to make!

For chicken with almond crust, use the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to pound out chicken breast so the thickness would be even. Salt and pepper both sides. Brush on honey Dijon mustard on both sides then put sliced almonds. Sear chicken breast with olive oil.

Actually, the almonds didn't really form a crust like I hoped because they got stuck on the pan. Maybe if I used a non-stick pan, they might have stayed on the chicken... not sure.

I also roasted asparagus in the oven and cooked couscous.
