Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned)
1 cup cashews
1 egg, beaten with a bit of water
flour
canola oil
2 tablespoons cognac
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Slice chicken into thin strips.
  • Dredge in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • Dip in beaten egg.
  • Crush nuts in food processor with bread crumbs until finely chopped, but not mushy.
  • Dredge chicken in nut mixture.
  • Fry in hot oil until browned on both sides.
  • Add cognac and butter to pan drippings and boil for a minute.
  • Pour over chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. This will give your dish the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a lean protein that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.
  • Make sure the cashew crust is crispy: The cashew crust is what makes this dish special, so make sure it's nice and crispy. To do this, make sure the cashews are finely chopped and that the chicken is coated evenly with the mixture. Cook the chicken in a hot oven until the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Cashew-crusted chicken is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular choices include honey mustard, sweet and sour sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Cashew-crusted chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional fried chicken. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give cashew-crusted chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
