Granola Crusted Chicken or Fish Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A crunchy, sweet-savory coating of granola adds texture and flavor to tender chicken breasts or flaky fish fillets. This quick recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) or 4 white fish fillets (6 oz each, like cod or tilapia)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granola (plain or lightly sweetened, crushed slightly)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pat chicken or fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Place crushed granola in a third dish.
4. Dredge each piece first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, and finally coat with granola, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated chicken or fish and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
6. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cooked through: chicken (165°F internal) about 10-12 minutes, fish (145°F) about 6-8 minutes.
7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use a granola with nuts and seeds.
• If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, transfer seared pieces to the prepared baking sheet to finish in the oven.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster oven for best texture.
