Walnut And Herb Crusted Chicken Food

WALNUT-CRUSTED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Mix garlic, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and thyme together in a bowl to make the "nut glue."
• Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Spread nut glue all over the chicken. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Toss walnuts over the chicken, press down firmly, and repeat on the other side to coat thoroughly. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Coat the bottom of an oven-proof skillet with some olive oil. Place chicken breasts on top, reserving excess nuts if desired. Season with a pinch of salt and drizzle more olive oil on top.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until walnuts are lightly toasted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 25 minutes.
• Quickly remove chicken to a plate to rest. Transfer skillet to the stovetop; stir in broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and honey and bring to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over and around the chicken to serve.

WALNUT AND HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prep: Heat the oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard to a medium mixing bowl and set aside. Finely chop the walnuts if necessary and add to a second mixing bowl; then add the spices, salt and pepper and mix to incorporate with the walnuts.
• Coat: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the Dijon mustard and use your hands to mix and coat all surfaces of the chicken. One by one, dip and coat each thigh in the walnut and spice mixture and place in the skillet smooth side down.
• Cook: Cook the chicken in the oil for 4-5 minutes until browned on the underside. Flip each thigh over, reduce the heat to medium low, and cover. Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the juices run clear using either a fork or sharp knife to test. If necessary, flip once more to cook through.
• Enjoy: Serve immediately and top with any remaining walnuts in the skillet. Enjoy!
