Crunchy nut chicken

Serves 4
40 minutes
Difficulty Easy
7 Ingredients

This delicious low-fat crumbed chicken recipe is the perfect alternative to drive-through chicken options that won’t blow the calorie budget.

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 cups corn flakes
⅓ cup macadamia nuts finely chopped
½ teaspoon chicken stock powder
1 egg white
¼ cup skim milk
4 x 125g flattened skinless chicken breasts
Cooking spray

Method

Preheat oven 180ºC fan forced.
Place corn flakes in a plastic bag then using a rolling pin crush finely. Add nuts and stock powder into bag and shake, tip onto a flat plate.
Using a fork, beat egg white and milk. Dip flattened breasts in egg mixture, then coat each side of chicken with crumbs.
Place on a flat baking tray that has been coated with cooking spray, spray over top of chicken and bake 25-30 minutes or until cooked and coating is golden brown.

Notes... Variation: For an even lower fat count omit macadamia nuts and add ½ cup more corn flakes to crumbs.

This looks delicious Thankyou! I’ll only use the Nita on half so my 8 month old can have some too (he’s no good at chewing and swallowing nuts yet)

it looks really tasty. I think even if I would make it with out the nuts it would still taste delicious.

Yum I bet the macadamia nuts would make this chicken so delicious. Expensive though.

I like the crumble layer with nuts but don’t like to use corn flakes at home or have it at all as they are highly processed and have a high refined sugar content. I would use bread crumbs instead.

Sounds and looks fabulous – could use panko crumbs instead of corn flakes.

I’ve used corn flakes as crumb before. Love the addition of macadamias.
