As you know I’m constantly on the lookout for alternatives to basic boring chicken breast recipes.  Chicken thighs are always tender and therefore automatically delicious (not to mention easy and inexpensive – always a bonus)!  This recipe combines tangy Dijon with sweet and zesty balsamic vinegar and spices for a chicken dish that’s healthy and jam packed with flavor!  Pop it in the oven and dinner is ready!

Dijon Almond Crusted Tilapia

I wanted to make a healthy and delicious recipe last night but fish can sometimes taste too light and unsatisfying! Not to fear, this recipe has the perfect blend of saltiness and sweetness…all topped with a golden almond crunch. My favorite thing about cooking fish is that you can throw it in a baking dish, pop it in the oven and it’s cooked by the time you finish cleaning your prep dishes. You can use this recipe with pretty much any fish, I just prefer the mildness of tilapia. Enjoy!
