Replace your classic breadcrumbs with... crushed peanuts! The opportunity to give extra flavors to your baked chicken (yum!). To eat with your fingers of course and to accompany with a barbecue, mustard or ketchup type sauce for a 100% pleasure tasting ;-) Oh, and you will only need 3 ingredients to make this recipe! This time, you have 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 are ! Enjoy your food !
