About

Marcona almonds that hail from the Catalonia region of Spain are larger than the American variety and higher in fat and flavor. These buttery nuts provide crunch and flavor contrast to the tart-sweet balsamic chicken marinade and the tangy bleu cheese.

USDA recommends cooking chicken to 165° F.
