Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
3/4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
3 slices white sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. In a food processor, pulse peanuts and bread until coarsely ground. Transfer to a shallow bowl; whisk in the oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs; season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken, and turn to coat. Working with one piece at a time, lift chicken and let excess egg mixture drip back into bowl; dredge in peanut mixture to coat completely, gently pressing to adhere. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake (without turning) until crust is browned and chicken is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add a generous amount of salt to boiling water in pot; blanch asparagus until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes (depending on thickness). Drain and transfer to a bowl along with butter and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
  • Serve chicken with asparagus.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the peanut crust was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This was an amazing recipe! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The peanut crust was flavorful and added a nice touch of sweetness. I served it with a side of steamed broccoli and it was a perfect meal.
