Ingredients
| Dukkah | ||
| 2/3 | cup | hazelnuts (for convenience, look for skinned hazelnuts) |
| 2 | Tbsp. | coriander seeds |
| 2 | Tbsp. | sesame seeds |
| 2 | Tbsp. | cumin seeds |
| 1/2 | tsp. | kosher salt |
| 2 1/2 | Tbsp. | flour |
| 1/2 | cup | low-fat buttermilk |
| 2 | tsp. | Dijon mustard |
| 4 | (4-oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts | |
| Parchment paper | ||
| Olive oil cooking spray | ||
Directions
- Prepare the Dukkah: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Add the hazelnuts toa baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. If you’re using nuts with skins, remove the nuts from the oven and place them on a clean dish towel. Fold the towel over the nuts and knead gently to remove the skins. Discard the skins.
- Add the hazelnuts; coriander, sesame, and cumin seeds; salt; and pepper to a small skillet. Toast the mixture over medium heat for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the nut mixture to a food processor and process just until coarsely chopped. Do not process to a paste.
- For the chicken: Add the flour to a plate. Place the buttermilk and mustard in a shallow bowl and whisk until blended. Add the Dukkah to another plate.
- Coat both sides of each piece of chicken with flour; shake off the excess. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk mixture and then coat with the Dukkah. Discard any unused flour, buttermilk mixture, and Dukkah.
- Add a piece of parchment paper to the baking sheet you used to toast the nuts. Arrange the chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Mist each piece of chicken breast with 2 quick spritzes of olive oil cooking spray. Bake the chicken at 400 F for 25 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
