Walnut and Rosemary Oven-Fried Chicken

WOW!  I absolutely loooooved how this chicken turned out!  I found this recipe on Cooking Light and thought the ingredients complimented each other so well.  Once again I must give my little disclaimer:  recipes will be made again with my NEW camera (I clearly still have a lot to learn), but don't let my picture fool you!  This chicken was really amazing :)  For all you moms, make this using chicken tenders with some honey mustard dipping sauce and your kids will love it!  This dish is super easy, super healthy and oh so filling!  Next time I think I'll squeeze some lemon juice over top for some additional flavor.  Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing the recipe! I love anything with rosemary. Panko is great for coating anything for baking or pan frying.

I love Cooking Light. This looks fabulous! I can't wait to see what else you cook up and the photos you take with your new camera!

That nutty topping sounds divine. I have a pecan chicken with mustard, but it also has 8 ounces of sour cream...this is a much healthier option. MMmmmmmm.

The chicken looks and sounds wonderful! I have made something similar and loved it too...!!

Kristen said...

Sounds like delicious chicken. I love the nuts in the coating.

We've been making oven fried chicken for years now and this is a great addition variation with the walnut and rosemary. Agree about the lemon, a squeeze of lemon juice adds a lovely freshness. Thanks for sharing this and good luck with your new camera!

I usually make oven-baked chicken when I have no idea what else to make. The addition of chopped walnuts is awesome and I'm sure it gives the dish a great new flavor. Must try this week!
