Grape Nuts Oh So Crunchy Chicken Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BALSAMIC RED ONIONS AND ROASTED GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the Traeger Grill to 425°F.
• Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season the chicken with thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter gets foamy and fragrant, add the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook without moving the chicken around for 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat slightly to medium. Flip and brown on the other side for about 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet, set on a plate to the side.
• Into the hot skillet, stir the balsamic and honey using a wooden spoon to pick up all the browned bits from the chicken. Add the thick slices of red onion, stir to coat. Cook the red onion until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Return the chicken to the skillet, placing the chicken on top of the red onions, crispy skin up. Transfer the skillet to the hot Traeger Grill uncovered. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Add the grapes to the skillet and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
• Serve the chicken with pan sauce drizzled over the top alongside the caramelized onions, roasted grapes and a side veggie like roasted asparagus.

CRUNCHY SWEET AND SALTY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

• In a large bowl or high rimmed pie plate, place slightly crushed Grape-Nuts, brown sugar and salt and mix to combine.
• Place a breast in the Grape-Nuts mixture and turn, pressing to coat. Transfer breast to a 9X14 baking dish. Repeat for the other three breasts. Spray tops on each breast with a light coating of pan spray.
• Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes depending on breast size. Poke with your finger, if it bounces back, it is done.
• Broil for a few minutes to further brown the tops if desired.

• Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
• Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.
