Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipe
Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipe-April 2024
Apr 23, 2025 7:35 PM

  Walnuts add a healthful dose of omega-3 fatty acids to bread crumbs, which keep the chicken moist. Roasting the chicken, rather than frying it, yields a crisp crust without adding much extra fat. If you don’t have day-old bread, lightly toast fresh bread to use instead.

  

Ingredients

serves 4

  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

  

Step 1

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.

  

Step 2

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.

  

Step 3

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.
