Eat it with your fingers, of course, and serve it with a barbecue, mustard, or ketchup-style sauce for pure enjoyment ;-) Oh, and we almost forgot to mention: you’ll only need 3 ingredients to make this recipe! This time, you have no excuse not to try it...

Roughly chop your peanuts in a blender to turn them into small pieces. Transfer everything to a plate.
Beat an egg in a bowl and cut your two chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C).
Take half a chicken breast, dip it in the beaten egg and then in the peanuts before placing it on the baking sheet.
Do the same with the other 3 pieces of chicken.
Bake for 20 minutes at 390°F (200°C).
And there you have it! Enjoy!

Can I freeze this breaded chicken?

You can freeze this recipe, as long as the chicken breasts have not already been frozen. To thaw them, we recommend placing them in a 280°F (140°C) oven for 5–10 minutes, checking that they are heated through.

Which peanuts should I use for peanut-crusted chicken?

We used roasted, unsalted peanuts. Adding salt could throw off the balance of the recipe. You can also use unroasted peanuts (but still unsalted!).
