Ingredients
6 – 8 chicken breasts or turkey cutlets (if using chicken breast either slice it thinner or pound it slightly)
4 egg whites
1 tbsp. of minced garlic
4 sprigs of rosemary
1 tbsp. of parmesan cheese
The juice of 1 lemon.jpg)
Salt and Pepper
Olive oil
1 cup of oat flour (see recipe for this below)
Instructions
- Start off with either old fashioned oats or quick oats. Place them in a food processor. Grind until you have a flour-like consistency and its equivalent to 1 cup. This is a great and creative way to make your own flour and it’s very good for you too.
- Add the rosemary, parmesan cheese and 1tsp. of salt and pepper into the food processor with the flour and grind for about 30 seconds. Place the mixture onto a flat plate to get it ready for coating your chicken or turkey.
- In a bowl, mix egg whites, lemon, garlic and salt and pepper together.
- Place your chicken or turkey into the bowl, with the egg white mixture. Next take it out and place it on a flat plate.
- Instead of dredging it directly into the flour, just take a spoon and sprinkle the flour mixture on both sides of the poultry. If you’re not concerned about watching your carbohydrates you can go ahead and dredge it directly into the flour.
- Heat your frying pan first to get it warm and then add approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Let your oil get warm before you place your poultry into the frying pan. This is a general rule of thumb to go by if you don’t want anything to stick to the pan.
- Fry each side for approximately 5 – 10 minutes. Make sure to cover with a lid to help it cook faster and to also lock in some of the moisture.
So there you have it folks. Here is a really delicious and easy way to enjoy a tasty and healthy meal that is fit for a king or queen. If you have any doubts about using oats as your crust, just give it a try and you won’t believe how yummy this recipe really is.
