Tips and Tricks

Prepping the Chicken

To make the chicken breasts cook evenly, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures they cook at the same rate, preventing overcooking.

Nutty Breading

For a finer texture, pulse the nuts and breadcrumbs until they reach a uniform consistency. This helps the coating stick better to the chicken, giving it a perfect crust.

Egg Mixture

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the egg mixture. This enhances the taste without overpowering the dish.

Cooking Oil

Use a high-smoke-point oil like canola or peanut oil for browning the chicken. These oils handle higher temperatures better, giving you a perfect golden-brown crust.

Oven Cooking

To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This guarantees juicy and safe-to-eat chicken.

Serving Suggestion

Pair the chicken with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to balance out the meal. The lightness of the sides complements the rich flavor of the chicken.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place nuts, breadcrumbs, and grill seasoning in a food processor. Pulse grind them until the nuts turn into breadcrumbs. Pour this nutty-breading onto a plate.
  • In a shallow dish, beat eggs and mix them with half-and-half or milk. Add hot sauce to this mixture.
  • Spread flour on a plastic board or plate.
  • Coat both sides of the chicken with flour.
  • Dip the chicken into the egg mixture and then cover it with the nutty-breading.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to create a thin layer at the bottom of the pan (about 2 or 3 turns of the pan).
  • Brown the chicken pieces for 2 minutes on each side in the hot oil or until they turn evenly light golden in color.
  • Transfer the browned chicken to a baking sheet.
  • Cook the chicken in the oven until the juices run clear and the breasts are cooked through, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
