DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ degrees.
   
   
2. Grind the almonds finely in a blender. Transfer the ground almonds to a plate, stir in the paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and set aside. Place the egg white in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
   
   
3. Add the filling ingredients to the blender. Process into a coarse mixture.
   
   
4. With a mallet, lightly pound the chicken breast to an even thickness. Using a sharp knife, make a deep pocket inside the chicken breast. Don't cut all the way through.
   
   
5. Stuff the filling into the chicken breast. Fasten with a toothpick. Season the outside of the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
   
   
6. Roll the chicken breast in the egg white, and then in the almond mixture to coat. Place the chicken in a lightly oiled baking dish. Bake 25 to 35 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165℉ degrees.
   
7. Serve with salad greens, with lemon wedges to squeeze over top.
