They say that children love crispy chicken very much. And this is absolutely true. But adults often, referring to kids, are silent about how they themselves are not indifferent to chicken in a golden crust. Many are confused by the fact that this dish cannot be attributed to either a healthy diet or a haute cuisine. Let's try to fix everything by making the dish less high in calories, but more delicious?
It is necessary
- - ½ cup of Dijon mustard;
- - ½ glass of liquid honey;
- - ¼ glass of vegetable oil;
- - 3 tablespoons of wine vinegar;
- - 3 chicken breasts with a total weight of about 1 ½ kilograms;
- - 2 cups of almond "petals";
- - ¼ a glass of flour.
Instructions
Step 1
Large, plump chicken breasts should be cut in half lengthwise and slightly beaten off, after cutting off excess fat. Wrap the meat in cling wrap to prevent scraps of chicken from staining your kitchen. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Pulse honey, Dijon mustard and vegetable oil in a food processor. If the honey is too thick, heat it in a water bath. To do this, place a container of honey in a saucepan half filled with boiling water and wait until the sweetness becomes fluid.
Step 3
Dip each chicken bite in flour, brush on both sides with the honey-mustard mixture with a silicone kitchen brush.
Step 4
Almond "petals" are thinly sliced almonds. Empty them into a wide, flat plate. Place each piece of chicken, pressing it firmly against the almonds, first on one side, then on the other. Place on a pre-lined baking sheet with parchment and place in an oven preheated to 200 ° C. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and let sit for another 5 minutes. During this time, the meat will not only finally reach readiness, but the juices in it will be evenly distributed and will not flow out with the first cut, leaving the chicken dry and tough.
