Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
A tasty chicken dish with easy-to-prepare salad greens, cherry tomatoes and red capsicums (or red bell peppers). Rocket, mesculun or baby spinach leaves are ideal greens. I always opt for baby spinach leaves. This recipe is from The Australian Women's Weekly's 'fresh food fast: delicious no-fuss healthy recipes'.

Equipment
Food processor or blender, shallow bowls, large non-stick pan, oven tray, screw-top jar, large bowl
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews
- 3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup stale breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 4 chicken breast fillets, skinless
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 g rocket, trimmed
- 250 g yellow grape tomatoes or 250 g red grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium red capsicum (also known as red bell pepper)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced/325°F/3 gas mark.
Blend or process the nuts until they resemble a coarse meal; combine them in a medium, shallow bowl with the parsley and breadcrumbs; beat the eggs lightly in another medium shallow bowl and place the flour in another shallow bowl.
Halve the chicken pieces diagonally and slice though each piece horizontally; coat the chicken pieces in the flour and shake away any excess; dip each chicken piece in egg then in the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick; cook the chicken in batches until it has browned on both sides; place the chicken on an oiled oven tray; cook in the oven, uncovered, for about ten minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
The Mustard Vinaigrette: make the mustard vinaigrette by combining all the ingredients in a screw top jar and shaking it well; combine the vinaigrette with the rocket, tomato halves and capsicum slices in a large bowl; toss the salad gently then serve it with the chicken.
