Place almonds, flour and seasonings in a food process and process until almonds are finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a shallow bowl or dish.

Whisk egg whites in another shallow bowl or dish. Dip chicken in egg whites and turn to coat. Then dip in almond mixture and turn to coat. Alternatively, place almond mixture into a plastic bag and shake egg white coated chicken to evenly coat with almond mixture. Place chicken on prepared cookie sheet. Discard any leftover egg whites and almond mixture.
