Cashew and Parsley-Crumbed Chicken With Mustard Vinaigrette image

A tasty chicken dish with easy-to-prepare salad greens, cherry tomatoes and red capsicums (or red bell peppers). Rocket, mesculun or baby spinach leaves are ideal greens. I always opt for baby spinach leaves. This recipe is from The Australian Women's Weekly's 'fresh food fast: delicious no-fuss healthy recipes'.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews
3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup stale breadcrumbs
2 eggs
4 chicken breast fillets, skinless
1/3 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
250 g rocket, trimmed
250 g yellow grape tomatoes or 250 g red grape tomatoes, halved
1 medium red capsicum (also known as red bell pepper)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced/325°F/3 gas mark.
  • Blend or process the nuts until they resemble a coarse meal; combine them in a medium, shallow bowl with the parsley and breadcrumbs; beat the eggs lightly in another medium shallow bowl and place the flour in another shallow bowl.
  • Halve the chicken pieces diagonally and slice though each piece horizontally; coat the chicken pieces in the flour and shake away any excess; dip each chicken piece in egg then in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick; cook the chicken in batches until it has browned on both sides; place the chicken on an oiled oven tray; cook in the oven, uncovered, for about ten minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • The Mustard Vinaigrette: make the mustard vinaigrette by combining all the ingredients in a screw top jar and shaking it well; combine the vinaigrette with the rocket, tomato halves and capsicum slices in a large bowl; toss the salad gently then serve it with the chicken.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the mustard vinaigrette was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

I used panko breadcrumbs instead of the cashew and parsley crumbs. It was a quick and easy substitution and the chicken turned out great.

I'm not a fan of nuts, so I omitted the cashews from the crumb coating. The chicken was still delicious.

I didn't have any parsley on hand, so I used cilantro instead. It was a nice substitute and the chicken still tasted great.

I accidentally used regular mustard instead of Dijon mustard in the vinaigrette. It was still good, but I think it would have been better with Dijon mustard.

I found that the chicken needed to be cooked for a few minutes longer than the recipe stated. Other than that, it was a great recipe and the chicken was delicious.

The chicken was a little dry for my taste, but the mustard vinaigrette helped to add some moisture. Overall, it was a good recipe.

I was a bit skeptical about the cashew and parsley crumb coating, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was so flavorful and added a nice crunch to the chicken.
