Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 -3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6-8 ounce)
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, zest of, minced
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken breasts into cutlets, cutting into thirds and gently pounding to an even thickness of 1/2 inch (easier and cleaner if done between two layers of plastic wrap).
  • Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice with a fork in a wide, shallow dish; set aside.
  • Combine bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, zest, pecans, and seasonings in another wide shallow dish.
  • Crust chicken breasts by dipping both sides of prepared chicken into egg white mixture. Then applying crumbs to both sides, patting them on as much as possible. Transfer to a cookie rack to air-dry on both sides for 20-30 minutes. (This will set crust so it will stay on chicken and crisp up nicely).
  • Sauté chicken in oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on bottom. Turn carefully with a spatula and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. This should take about 8 more minutes. Don't overcook, you don't want it to dry out.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before breading.
  • To create a flavorful crust, use a combination of chopped pecans, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs.
  • For a crispy coating, dredge the chicken in the egg wash and then in the pecan mixture twice.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, pan-fry it over medium heat and cover the pan during cooking.
  • For a healthier alternative, bake the chicken cutlets in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken cutlets immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

The pecan-crusted chicken cutlet triple-decker sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy pecan crust, tender chicken, and flavorful fillings, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special meal to impress your guests, this recipe is sure to please.
