Rosemary Walnut Crusted Chicken

I have made some A-MAZING recipes lately. And I seriously don't know what I would do if pinterest went away. This recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious. It reminds me of the bread at Macaroni Grill. The original recipe only breaded the chicken in the walnuts, but I added some panko breadcrumbs add a little more diversity. I think it turned out rather well!

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup walnuts
1 clove garlic
1-1 1/2 tsp rosemary
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten.

Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 3/4 in thick. Place in a large bowl of water and sprinkle with 2 tsp salt. Let sit for 30 min. In a food processor blend together walnuts, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil until walnuts are ground fine. Mix in the panko breadcrumbs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once chicken had been brining for about 30 min, dry the breasts. Dip each in beaten egg and then into the walnut mixture. Press the walnut mixture to the breasts to adhere. Then carefully place the breasts on a wire rack over a baking sheet. (I learned recently that this makes the chicken crispy on the outside and tender on the inside) Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
