Dukkah crusted chicken

Dukkah Crusted Chicken

I made dukkah crusted chicken, with a capsicum & semi-dried tomato sauce (recipe in condiments & sauces)
So simple.



Pre heat oven to 180^oC fan forced.

Sprinkle around 2/3 cup dukkah onto a tray, press chicken both sides to coat. (I prefer dukkah with an equal mix of pistachios and hazlenuts).  Using the EDC dukkah recipe first.

Melt 20g butter in fry pan, and cook chicken breasts about 3 minutes per side.

Once both sides cooked, transfer to a tray, and bake in oven for 10 mins.

Turn oven off, top chicken with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Tasted fabulous, and the chicken was so juicy too.

Was lovely with char grilled eggplant and zucchini.

Amy - This is DE-LI-CIOUS. You're right Maddy, the chicken breast was so tender and juicy. Not dry at all. I cooked mine for an extra five minutes because they were so big. My dukkah fell off so I had to sprinkle it over afterwards. But oh-so-yummy.

cookie - I used the dukkah that Michele gave us at the retreat to make this.

pumpkin pie - Made this with the capsicum topping also, very nice. I used the dukkah as a breadcrumb, so dipped the breasts in egg wash first, then in the dukkah, cooked as per the recipe and the whole meal was great.

Good work Maddy - the sauce looks good too

I had a lady at a demo tell me she lightly coats her chicken in olive oil, then coats it in dukkah to finally cook on the bbq. I was hoping to try that method but steamed in the Varoma instead of on bbq over the weekend. Will let you know how that turns out.

I was wondering the same thing sarah.j - be interested to hear your comments after you've tried it.
Even coated in yoghurt then the dukkah?

Hi guys...yes the BBQ method works really well - we coat our chicken breast pieces in the dukkah (you don't really need the oil if you are watching kj's, the dukkah still stays on).  Then cook on BBQ (no too high a heat as you don't want the dukkah to burn before the chicken is cooked).     How did the Varoma cooking go sarah.j?  Would/did the dukkah stay on/go soft?

I would imagine the flavours wouldn't differ too much, but steaming won't give you the golden crispy coating like on the pan or BBQ.

Welcome back alioop - just realised you have touched base again - good to see 

The varoma with dukkah might not work as well, but would consider cooking in the varoma and then sprinkling with dukkah
