Parmesan-walnut turkey tenderloins or chicken breasts

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Parmesan cheese; freshly grated
½ cup All-purpose flour
⅓ cup Walnuts; in pieces
½ cup Milk
1¼ pounds Turkey tenderloin OR
2 Skinless boneless chicken breast, * see note
3 tablespoons Olive oil
¼ cup Parsley; finely chopped

Directions

* If using chicken breasts, split and flatten them slightly.

Process Parmesan, flour, and walnuts in food processor until nuts are finely chopped. Transfer to a sheet of waxed paper. Pour the milk into a shallow bowl.

Pat the tenderloins or chicken dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both side lightly with salt and pepper. Coat one tenderloin at a time with the parmesan mixture, dip it in milk, and coat it again with the Parmesan mixture.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tenderloins and sautee, turning once, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
