Walnut Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, combine bread, walnuts, and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Process until fine breadcrumbs form. Transfer to a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat egg white until frothy.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into egg white, letting excess drip off, and then into crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
• In a large nonstick ovenproof skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn chicken over and put skillet in oven. Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Serve chicken with lemon slices and green salad.

Steps:

• Mix garlic, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and thyme together in a bowl to make the "nut glue."
• Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Spread nut glue all over the chicken. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Toss walnuts over the chicken, press down firmly, and repeat on the other side to coat thoroughly. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Coat the bottom of an oven-proof skillet with some olive oil. Place chicken breasts on top, reserving excess nuts if desired. Season with a pinch of salt and drizzle more olive oil on top.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until walnuts are lightly toasted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 25 minutes.
• Quickly remove chicken to a plate to rest. Transfer skillet to the stovetop; stir in broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and honey and bring to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over and around the chicken to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Trim the boneless chicken breasts and pound out evenly.
• Mix the preserves, honey, mustard and 1/4 cup of the chicken stock in a bowl.
• In another bowl, take the flour and finely chopped walnuts and mix together.
• Dip the chicken breasts in the peach mixture and drain slightly.
• Then roll the breasts in the walnut mixture and pat down.
• Place onto a baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken in pierced with a fork or knife.
• To make the sauce: put the peach mixture in a small pan.
• Then add the cornstarch to the remaining chicken stock and mix.
• Add the chicken stock to the peach mixture and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and plate.
• Take the sauce and nap it across the chicken breast, then serve, with lots of steamed veggies.
• Note: This recipe is very flavourful as it is, but if you want a bit more richness, you can drizzle 1/4 cup of melted butter over the breasts before baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a food processor, combine bread, walnuts, parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Process until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat egg white until frothy.
• Pat dry chicken with paper towels. Season chicken on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into egg white to coat completely, then let excess drip off before dredging in crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Cook chicken until lightly browned on one side, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip chicken and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon slices.
