Macadamia Nut & Almond Crusted Chicken

This recipe is fairly easy, low on ingredients and healthy! WIN WIN WIN!!!!

Ingredients:

• Chicken Breast
• 1/2 Cup Macadamia Nuts (Chopped) (I prefer the ones in the baking section of the Market)
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Almonds
• 4 tbsp. Canola Oil
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
• Salt & Pepper

Directions:

1. Tenderize chicken
   1. Place one sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on the counter, place chicken on top then place another piece of parchment paper on top of chicken.
   2. Use the flat side of a meat tenderizer to pound down on the chicken evenly till its thinned about half in size.
2. Cut breasts into smaller pieces ( I usually cut them in half because they have expanded in size, and its easier and faster to cook thoroughly if its a smaller piece).
3. Heat a large pan on medium heat with 2tbsp. of Canola oil.
4. In a dish whisk two eggs for your egg wash.
5. In a separate dish combine Panko Bread Crumbs, Chopped Nuts and a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Take a piece of chicken, submerge it in the egg wash (so the entire piece gets covered with the wash.)
7. Transfer to dry mix (Bread Crumbs & Nuts) cover both sides with mixture then place in the pan. (Should take roughly 5-7 minute to cook, make sure you flip the chicken half way through).
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 till all of your chicken is done. 

ENJOY!
