If you’re anything like me, you might have a hard time wanting to eat anything other than comfort food during the winter.

I mean, when I trek outside in five degree windchill to do errands, then come home, I don’t generally want a big salad for dinner.

I want creamy salmon pasta or lamb bolognese. Or a big plate of nachos. Or my mom’s slow cooker beef vegetable soup.

But I believe that there can be a balance between something really comforting and something super fresh and healthy.

This almond crusted chicken with couscous, grapefruit and arugula is one of my favorite winter meals. And just like my chicken sloppy joes and Instant Pot sweet and sour chicken, it’s a healthy meal masquerading as comfort food.

See below for all the details. And if you’d rather use pistachios instead of almonds, please see my pistachio crusted chicken post.

My mom is the designated OFFICIAL sour cream sugar cookie recipe and holiday treat maker for the family, leaving me with the low-stress position of making whatever I want to supplement her treats.

Sometimes it’s chocolate candy cane cookies. Most years, I’ll make my favorite melomakarona cookies, although admittedly, they are a lot of work (I usually make them in a 3-day process).

But this year I decided to go in a different direction with these Almond Flour Rum Balls.
