The Chicken Breast with Crispy Breading is a tasty little recipe I prepare when I don’t have many ideas in mind. This way, I still have a delicious dish made with very little effort. But it’s just as beautiful and good to offer to friends and family, especially because you can prepare it at least a day in advance. In fact, the slices in the marinade keep very well in the refrigerator, in fact, they become perfectly flavored. But be careful that the slices are at least half an inch thick, otherwise it’s better to cook them quickly in a pan… you seriously risk them becoming tough.

How to Prepare Chicken Breast with Crispy Breading
To prepare the Chicken Breast with Crispy Breading, cut or have your trusted butcher cut the chicken breast into thick slices to avoid it becoming tough during baking.
Place the slices inside a large plate, sprinkle them with a little lemon juice and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, just enough to coat them well.
Then massage them with half of the herb mix, half of the grated lemon zest, salt, and pepper, and let them rest for about an hour, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator.
Chop the almonds and pistachios coarsely in a chopper, or place them between two sheets of parchment paper and crush with a rolling pin, the bottom of a glass… choose whatever is more practical for you.
Take the chicken out of the fridge, dip it in the plate where you have beaten the eggs, and then in the one where you have mixed, blending well, the remaining herbs and lemon zest with the nuts.
After coating the slices well in this mixture, place them inside a baking sheet, previously lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle with a little more extra virgin olive oil, and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F, and let cook for about 15 minutes.
Do not exceed the cooking time I recommend, otherwise you risk the slices becoming tough.
Serve your Chicken Breast with Crispy Breading with a sort of citronette: emulsify the remaining lemon juice with about 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Advice and Variations
You can store the chicken with its marinade in the refrigerator for one or two days, but inside a container and covered with plastic wrap.
If you don’t like cooking it in the oven, you can always opt for a non-stick pan, but you will need to turn it from time to time.
