DUKKAH CHICKEN CUTLETS AND EGGS
Dukkah is an Egyptian condiment made of toasted nuts and seeds. It usually contains roasted hazelnuts or chickpeas as the foundation, and is seasoned with coriander and cumin. Add dukkah to chicken and eggs for a hint of crunch and smoky, nutty flavor.

Steps:
- To make the orange-honey vinaigrette, put oil, vinegar, zest, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small screw-top jar. Cover and shake well.
- Stir together flour, 1/4 cup dukkah, and cayenne in a shallow dish. Beat together 2 eggs with water in another shallow dish.
- Cut each chicken breast crosswise into 2 equal pieces. Pound each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4- inch thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip each piece in egg mixture, then dredge in flour mixture to coat.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook, turning once, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Wipe out skillet.
- Crack remaining 4 eggs into the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon dukkah and 1 pinch salt. Reduce heat to low. Cook until whites are completely set and yolks start to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Arrange greens on a serving platter; drizzle vinaigrette on top. Top with chicken and eggs.

I looked on Zaar for a recipe for this, and couldn't find any, so I decided to make up my own. I recommend serving this with my Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661)

- Marinate the chicken strips in this mixture for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 180ºC, and line a baking tray with waxed paper.

- Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray, and give them a quick spray of olive oil.
- Bake at 180ºC for 25 minutes, then turn them all over, and give them another 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. This is especially true for the chicken, eggs, and dukkah.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Use a good quality dukkah: Dukkah is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a dukkah that is made with fresh, flavorful spices and nuts.
- Serve the chicken and eggs with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This dukkah chicken cutlets and eggs recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the eggs are cooked to perfection, and the dukkah adds a nice nutty crunch. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
