Cooking Conversion Table
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, tenderized
3/4 cup Japanese bread crumbs (“Panko” in grocery stores. It is useful for many great seafood and chicken dishes.)
1/2 cup Pecan pieces, chopped in food processor
2 eggs, beaten
Flour
Fresh Lemon Herb Butter (see below)
Instructions:
Tenderize chicken breasts and flatten slightly with a meat mallet so they are not too thick but "even" in thickness
Combine Panko bread crumbs and Pecan pieces in a shallow pan (like a pie pan). Put beaten eggs in another pie pan and the flour in a third pie pan.
Dip the chicken in the flour, then in the eggs and finally in the Pecan-Panko mix
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat
Add clarified butter (see below) and then the two breasts
Cook chicken on one side for 3-4 minutes (or until golden brown), turn over and cook until juices run clear
Chicken is done. Top each breast with lemon-herb butter!
To clarify butter:
- Melt butter over very low heat
- Skim off what comes to the surface
- Slowly pour off the oil part into another container
- Discard the solids
Ingredients for Lemon Herb Butter:
- 1 pound soft butter
- 1 1/2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley)
Instructions for Lemon Herb Butter:
- Combine all ingredients in food processor or with mixer
That’s it! Gooood job!
