What’s not to like about crusted chicken breast? It’s a great way to introduce texture and keep the chicken moist while it cooks. The walnut and rosemary in the crust adds some amazing flavour, too!

2
potato
1
onion
2 sprig
rosemary
1
cucumber
1 clove
garlic
1 packet
walnuts
(Contains: Tree Nuts; May be present: Gluten, Peanut, Sesame, Milk, Soy. )
1 packet
panko breadcrumbs
(Contains: Gluten(Wheat); )
1 packet
chicken breast
1 bag
salad leaves
1 packet
garlic aioli
(Contains: Egg, Soy; )
olive oil
½ tsp
salt
1
egg
(Contains: Egg; )
1 drizzle
vinegar (white wine or red wine)
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into bite-sized chunks. Slice the red onion into thick wedges. Place the potato and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, pick the rosemary leaves and finely chop. Thinly slice the cucumber. Finely chop the garlic. Crush the walnuts in their packet using a rolling pin (or finely chop if you prefer!).
TIP: Run your fingers down the rosemary stalk to remove the leaves easily.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a second shallow bowl, combine the rosemary, garlic, walnuts, panko breadcrumbs and the salt, then season with pepper. Coat the chicken breast in the egg, then in the walnut-panko mixture, pressing lightly to help the crust stick. Reserve any leftover crumb in the bowl. (You'll use it in step 4!).
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the crusted chicken until golden, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a second lined oven tray and sprinkle the leftover panko crumb over the chicken. Bake the chicken until cooked through, 8-12 minutes. Remove from the oven, then set aside to rest.
TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is resting, combine a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season. Add the mixed salad leaves and cucumber and toss to coat.
Slice the walnut and rosemary-crusted chicken. Divide the chicken, roasted veggies and mixed salad between plates. Sprinkle any remaining toasted crumb over the chicken. Serve with the garlic aioli.
