Crispy Baked Chicken
8 medium chicken breast halves boneless and skinless
1 C. walnuts
1 C. dry breadcrumbs
1 t. salt
1/4 t. ground red pepper
2 eggs
non stick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a food processor, with the steel knife attached, blend walnuts with 1/2 of the bread crumbs until finely ground. Place mixture in a bowl and add remaining crumbs, salt and red pepper. Mix well.
Beat eggs in a pie plate.
Cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg and then roll it in the walnut crumb mixture. Place chicken pieces on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with the non stick coating. When you have finished all the chicken, spray a light coating of the spray on the chicken.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until chicken is brown and golden and the juices run clear.
Cool chicken and refrigerate. Serve with a dipping sauce.
