Fried Chicken may be “finger lickin good” however the preparation of it makes it a very unhealthy choice.

Unfortunately, anything that is deep fat fried is high in cholesterol and fat (and not the good fat). Here is a delicious alternative that will satisfy that fried food craving.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Peanuts
• 1 tsp Lemon pepper
• ¾ tsp Granulated garlic
• 1 tsp Cumin
• ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
• 2 eggs

Peanut Crusted Chicken Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Put peanuts and spices into food processor and chop until peanuts are a fine texture.
3. Meanwhile whisk eggs until they are a foamy consistency.
4. Dip each chicken cutlet into eggs and then place into peanut crust mixture so that all sides are covered.
5. Place all cutlets onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for approximately 20-25 min.
6. Internal temperature for chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Serve with your favorite vegetable. (This dish goes really well with asparagus.)
