Walnut Chicken
(Makes 4 Servings)
8- 3oz Chicken Breast
3/4 Cups Italian Bread Crumbs
1/4Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/2 Cup Cornmeal
1/2 Cup Finely chopped Walnuts
Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder, Oregano to taste. The Italian Bread crumbs have a fair amount of flavor in them. If you use plain bread crumbs, add more seasoning.
1 Poblano Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Red Onion
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
2 Packets of Instant Garlic Mashed Potatoes... You could make your own if you wish. I'm lazy.
Brown Butter Sauce
1 1/2 Sicks of Unsalted Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Tabasco sauce ( I like a lot of it personally)
1/2 cup Toasted Chopped Walnuts
Salt, Pepper to Taste
1/2 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan on med-high heat. Toss the Walnuts in after the butter melts.
Turn heat down to low-medium and cook until the butter browns and cooks down. Sauce is pretty light in texture though. Thickens slightly as it cools. Stir often.
Set Aside.
Directions
Chop Veg julienne and marinate in Soy.
Set Aside
Combine Dry ingredients.
Place each individual Chicken Breast between saran wrap and beat until roughly 1/4- 1/2 in thick.
Coat chicken in dry mix. Pressing firmly on all sides to ensure that coating will not fall off during cooking process.
Preheat oven to 375 allowing the chicken to sit for a short period of time.
Generously coat a saute pan with Olive Oil over Medium-High/ High Heat.
Saute The Chicken Breasts for 2 Minutes on each side.
Place Chicken in the oven for 5 minutes. Adjust cooking time if you couldn't quite pound the meat as thin as the recipe calls for.
In your saute pan, Cook your veg mixture over medium-high heat until peppers begin to char.
Cook Instant Mash.
Scoop of Mash Potatoes, Veg Mixture on top of that, and two pieces of Walnut Chicken on the top of the pile. Smother in Brown Butter sauce.
Enjoy. Will post pics tomorrow.

G-Man...this looks so delicious I've already gone to the store to get the ingredients, can't wait to make it, your Dad said he would help...maybe make the mashed potatoes..lol. Thanks for submitting this one!
ReplyDeleteGarrett, Mike and I made this dish on Friday night, it was really fun to make and had so many layers. With the original recipe amounts I had tons of the breading and butter sauce remaining so I cut down the amounts in the recipe to account for the portions. I saved the remaining breading (which is wonderful) in the freezer for a remake or even another dish. I loved, loved, loved the saute'd veggies and especially the addition of the Poblano chili, it added great flavor. Also, not sure if I did something wrong (I'm not so great at making sauces) but my Brown Butter Sauce was not thick, I loved the flavor, and thought the addition of Tobasco was genius, but not sure if it was supposed to thicken up. Thanks for the submission, can't wait to eat the leftovers..
ReplyDeleteHeaded to the supermarket today. Can't wait for Sam to try this. I think he will love it. He loves tobasco. I'll let you know how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI loved this recipe, even though I am late on the comments. My favorite was the peppers soaked in soy sauce, even Ryne couldn't stop eating them. I also do love anything with mashed potatoes.
