Oat Crusted Chicken Cutlets Recipes

OATMEAL-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Place oats in a food processor, and process for 20 seconds or until coarsely ground. Add cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine, and place in a shallow bowl.
• Place each chicken breast tender between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Coat both sides of tenders with cooking spray; dredge tenders in oat mixture.
• Place tenders on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until browned.
• Serve with dressings for dipping.

CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Beat the egg in a shallow dish. Put your desired coating in a separate shallow dish. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then firmly press in the coating, making sure to coat both sides.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add the chicken and cook until crisp and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed if the coating is browning too quickly. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.

OAT-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Pulse 1/2 cup oats in a food processor until finely ground. Add cheese, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup oats. Pulse just to combine. Transfer mixture to a shallow bowl.
• Remove tenders from chicken; reserve for another use. Pound chicken to a 1/2-inch thickness. Coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover chicken in oat mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add half of chicken in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Wipe skillet clean and repeat process with 2 more tablespoons oil and remaining chicken. Serve with greens.

BAKED CHICKEN IN PARMESAN OAT CRUST

Steps:

• Position a rack at the center of the oven and preheat to 375°.
• Pat the chicken dry using paper towels.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the oats, cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper and process for about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into a pie plate and one by one, dredge the chicken pieces in the oat mixture, dip them in the milk, and dredge them in the oat mixture again.
• Place the chicken on a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan or baking tray. Drizzle with butter and bake until the chicken is fork tender and cooked through, 55 minutes to 1 hour.

CRISPY BAKED CEREAL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
• Place the cereal in a large plastic zipper bag and crush the cereal into crumbs. Add the garlic salt and seasoned salt; shake the mixture together in the bag to combine. Pour the cereal crumb mixture out into a shallow bowl.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk mixture, then into the crumb mixture, coating the chicken well with crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OATMEAL BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°; coat a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a shallow bowl or large resealable plastic bag, combine oats, paprika, chili powder, salt if desired, garlic powder, cumin and pepper. Dip chicken in milk, then coat with oat mixture. Place in prepared baking dish. Drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, until juices run clear and thermometer reads 170° when inserted into thickest part of chicken, 45-50 minutes.
