Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breasts

From: Lauren G. through:

Body and Soul Magazine

Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts add richness to this light breading; the coating keeps the chicken moist. For longer shelf life, store nuts in the freezer.

Prep: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4
-2 slices whole-wheat bread, dried
-1/3 cup walnuts
-2 tablespoons Parmesean cheese, freshly grated
-Coarse salt and ground pepper
-1 large egg white
-4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless (6 to 8 ounces each)
-1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
-Lemon slices for serving
-Seasonal green salad

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In the food processor, combinebread, walnuts, and Parmesean; season with salt and pepper. Process intil fine breadcrumbs form. Transfer to a shallowbowl. In another shallow bowl, beat egg white until frothy.

2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into egg white, letting excess drip off, and then into crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

3. 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

Thanks Lauren! We'll all be over on Friday night- say around 6:30 PM. Can't wait!

This also goes great with baked sweet potato fries.
