Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cup Walnuts
  • 1 cup Plain dried bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground red pepper
  • 2 lg Eggs -- beaten
  • 8 md Chicken breast halves --
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450ðF (230ðC). Spray two 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch jelly-roll pans with olive oil cooking spray.
  2. 2
    Place walnuts and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs into a food processor. Pulse until the walnuts are finely ground and resemble coarse meal.
  3. 3
    In a medium bowl, combine the ground walnut mixture, remaining 3/4 cup bread crumbs, salt, and ground red pepper. Mix well.
  4. 4
    In a shallow pie plate or bowl, beat the eggs with a fork.
  5. 5
    Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Cut each breast in half crosswise to create two thinner pieces, resulting in 16 pieces total.
  6. 6
    Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. 7
    Press the egg-coated chicken into the walnut-crumb mixture, ensuring an even, thorough coating on all sides.
  8. 8
    Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared jelly-roll pans.
  9. 9
    Lightly spray the top of the chicken pieces with olive oil cooking spray.
  10. 10
    Place pans on two separate oven racks. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, switching and rotating the pans halfway through cooking, until the coating is golden brown and chicken juices run clear when pierced.
  11. 11
    While the chicken bakes, prepare your three chosen dipping sauces according to your preferred recipes.
  12. 12
    Serve the crispy chicken hot with the dipping sauces. Alternatively, let cool slightly and refrigerate to serve cold later.
