Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon preserved lemon, peel only, rinsed and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon preserved lemon brine (from jar)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch crumbled saffron
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
½ cup dukkah
1 pound chicken tenderloins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine mayonnaise, lemon peel, garlic, lemon brine, cayenne pepper, and saffron in a mini food processor; blend until smooth, scraping down sides once or twice. Refrigerate aioli until ready to use.
  • Place egg whites into a dish or bowl. Place dukkah into a second dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg whites, letting excess drip off, then coat with dukkah. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the dukkah crust was delicious and the lemon-saffron aioli was a nice touch. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would make a few adjustments next time.

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of dukkah that had more nuts and seeds, and I added some extra spices to the chicken. The result was a flavorful and crispy chicken dish that e

Good flavors, but the chicken was a bit dry.

The dukkah crust was a bit too thick and overpowering for my taste, but the chicken itself was cooked well. The lemon-saffron aioli was a nice addition, but it couldn't balance out the strong flavor of the dukkah.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The dukkah crust lacked flavor and the chicken was a bit dry. The lemon-saffron aioli was good, but it couldn't save the dish.
