This is a super busy time of year and like a lot of people, I like having recipes on hand that are totally delicious, crowd pleasing, easy, and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about. This one is awesome.
Yes, this is another recipe from Cooking Light Magazine. More specifically, it's by a woman named Laraine Perri, who when googled turns up all kinds of delicious results from some pretty major publications. I plan to really explore some of her recipes later because if this one dish can be so good when I leave out steps, I'm excited to see what else of hers I can cook incorrectly yet deliciously.

(with all the proper steps)
Serves 4 / Total Time: Maybe 30 minutes max
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk, use slightly less than 1/4 cup milk with a splash of apple cider vinegar and let stand for a minute or two)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 (6 oz.) chicken cutlets
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or Asiago cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground lack pepper
- cooking spray
- Rosemary for garnishing
Preheat oven to 425º.
Combine buttermilk and mustard in a shallow dish and whisk together. Add chicken to buttermilk mixture, turning to coat.
Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add panko to pan and dry fry for three minutes, or until golden, stirring frequently.
Combine panko, walnuts, cheese, rosemary, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and toss.
Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture and dredge in panko mixture. (Discard buttermilk mixture.)
Put a wire rack on a large baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Arrange chicken on the rack and give them a quick spray with cooking spray.
Bake at 425º for 13 minutes or until chicken is done.
