Walnut and Rosemary Oven-Fried Chicken image

I got this recipe from my latest edition of Cooking Light and it is a delicious keeper! Makes weeknight chicken taste company-worthy and is done in 1/2 hour. The magazine suggests serving it with a salad topped with a toasted garlic vinaigrette.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 (6 ounce) chicken cutlets
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
3/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
cooking spray
rosemary (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Combine buttermilk and mustard in a shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Add chicken to buttermilk mixture, turning to coat.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add panko to pan; cook 3 minutes or until golden, stirring frequently. Combine panko, nuts, and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture; discard buttermilk mixture. Dredge chicken in panko mixture.
  • Arrange a wire rack on a large baking sheet; coat rack with cooking spray. Arrange chicken on rack; coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 13 minutes or until chicken is done. Garnish with rosemary leaves, if desired.
  • Note: If you don't have chicken cutlets, pound your boneless-skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper to make them uniformly about 1/2-inch thick.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did because it was delicious! The walnuts added a nice crunch and the rosemary gave the chicken a wonderful flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend reducing the amount of salt by half.
