Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breast

I almost never order a nut-crusted entree in a restaurant, as they often feature a sugary glaze or a too-sweet nut, like pecan or macadamia. That’s not an issue here since we’re going with buttery, subtly bitter walnuts, held on with a very savory ‘nut glue,’ made with a garlic and mustard base. This protective layer of deliciousness makes boneless, skinless chicken breast taste like it was just carved off a freshly roasted carcass.

Step: 1

Mix garlic, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and thyme together in a bowl to make the “nut glue.“

Step: 2

Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Spread nut glue all over the chicken. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step: 3

Toss walnuts over the chicken, press down firmly, and repeat on the other side to coat thoroughly. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 3 hours.

Step: 4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 5

Coat the bottom of an oven-proof skillet with some olive oil. Place chicken breasts on top, reserving excess nuts if desired. Season with a pinch of salt and drizzle more olive oil on top.

Step: 6

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until walnuts are lightly toasted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 25 minutes.

Step: 7

Quickly remove chicken to a plate to rest. Transfer skillet to the stovetop; stir in broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and honey and bring to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over and around the chicken to serve.

To much possesion yourself can lead to overeating , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ).

On the flip side, a daylight food that is less than satiating not make leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
