Lorraine Wallace'S Sesame ChickenĀ
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup plain sesame seeds, toasted
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Rinse the chicken breasts with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Put the chicken breasts on a plate large enough to hold them, and season with salt and pepper and the herbes de Provence.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a medium bowl and pour the buttermilk on top. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, toasted sesame seeds, and parsley.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess. One at a time, dredge the chicken breasts in the bread crumb-sesame seed mixture, coating each piece well. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Discard the marinade.
- Bake the chicken for about 10 minutes. Baste with the melted butter and continue baking until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
