Lemon-Basil Garlic Sauce

  • 1 cup Open Nature® Plain Icelandic Yogurt

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Prepare a large baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper or spraying with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a zip-top bag, add Open Nature® chicken breast and Icelandic yogurt. Close bag, and massage yogurt to coat chicken. Set aside.

Step 3

Add O Organics® almonds and Open Nature® Parmesan Crisps to a small food processor. Process for 10 seconds, until mixture is in fine crumbles. Pour crumbles onto a plate. Remove each chicken breast, and coat well with almond mixture on all sides. Place each chicken breast in the center of the baking sheet. Place in oven for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, toss vegetables, olive oil, and salt in a medium bowl until well-coated.

Step 5

Remove chicken, sprinkle vegetables all around so they are in a single layer. Place back into oven for another 30 minutes.

Step 6

To make sauce, add all ingredients into a small food processor and blend. Add water a tablespoon at a time to thin out to desired consistency.

Step 7

Serve Almond Crusted Chicken with Vegetables and sauce. Enjoy!

Step 8 :: helpful hints

Use whatever combination of 3 vegetables you have on hand. Sweet onions, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, diced red potatoes, etc.

Step 9 :: helpful hints

For a faster sauce that doesn't involved a processor, use 1 cup pre-made pesto sauce with 1 cup Open Nature® Icelandic Yogurt and whisk.

Step 10 :: helpful hints

Add extra almond-Parmesan crumbles to the top of chicken breast before baking for more crunchy-goodness
