PREPARATION FOR HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly with the herbs for maximum flavour.
  1. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs over the chicken breast, pressing softly so they adhere well to the surface.
  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
  1. Serve: Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of side, such as roasted vegetables, a salad, or mashed potatoes.

TIPS FOR HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN

  • Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular whole wheat breadcrumbs for an extra crispy crust.
  • To enhance the flavour, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving.
  • If you prefer a more intense herb flavour, marinate the chicken in olive oil, rosemary, and thyme for 30 minutes before cooking.

VARIATIONS

  • Substitute chicken breast with boneless chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Add a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs for a cheesy crust.
  • For a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.

PREPPING AND STORAGE GUIDE FOR HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat or in the microwave.
  • Freezer: You can freeze the cooked chicken in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
