Best 4 Dukkah Chicken Recipes

DUKKAH-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS WITH LEMON-SAFFRON AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine mayonnaise, lemon peel, garlic, lemon brine, cayenne pepper, and saffron in a mini food processor; blend until smooth, scraping down sides once or twice. Refrigerate aioli until ready to use.
• Place egg whites into a dish or bowl. Place dukkah into a second dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg whites, letting excess drip off, then coat with dukkah. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

DUKKAH CHICKEN

Steps:

• First, combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
• Marinate the chicken strips in this mixture for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 180ºC, and line a baking tray with waxed paper.
• Put all of the breadcrumb ingredients in a food processor, and give it a few quick pulses, to mix the cheese through evenly (If you're using powdered cheese, you can skip this step, and just put it straight into a bowl, and stir it through with a fork).
• Dip each piece of marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, being sure to coat it thoroughly and evenly.
• Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray, and give them a quick spray of olive oil.
• Bake at 180ºC for 25 minutes, then turn them all over, and give them another 15 minutes.
• Serve with Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661), and Herb, Lemon, and Garlic Dressing (#178208).

DUKKAH CHICKEN CUTLETS AND EGGS

Steps:

• To make the orange-honey vinaigrette, put oil, vinegar, zest, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small screw-top jar. Cover and shake well.
• Stir together flour, 1/4 cup dukkah, and cayenne in a shallow dish. Beat together 2 eggs with water in another shallow dish.
• Cut each chicken breast crosswise into 2 equal pieces. Pound each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4- inch thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip each piece in egg mixture, then dredge in flour mixture to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook, turning once, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Wipe out skillet.
• Crack remaining 4 eggs into the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon dukkah and 1 pinch salt. Reduce heat to low. Cook until whites are completely set and yolks start to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Arrange greens on a serving platter; drizzle vinaigrette on top. Top with chicken and eggs.

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH DUKKAH CRUST AND BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F
• Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by half, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the mustard and olive oil, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the chicken in the mustard mixture until well coated.
• Combine the dukkah and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a wide, shallow dish and mix thoroughly. Roll each tender in the dukkah mix until well coated.
• Thread a chicken tender on each skewer. Place the chicken skewers on wire cooling racks. Nest each wire rack in a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until the meat is firm and the dukkah crust is golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Serve the skewers with the vinegar-honey sauce.
