Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

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.
