Toss together the almonds, parmesan, garlic, mustard, basil, salt, and pepper in a large basin.
Melt the butter in a small basin.
Before covering with the cheese mixture, dip the chicken pieces into the butter.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes, or until browned and done. To achieve a crispier texture, heat under the broiler for an extra two minutes.
