Ingredients
  

  • Chicken breasts: 2 pieces
  • Macadamia nuts crushed into rebellious bits: 1 cup (240ml)
  • The kind of bread crumbs your grandma approves: 1/2 cup 120ml
  • Eggs from the happiest hens: 2
  • Olive oil the liquid gold: 2 tbsp (30ml)
  • Potatoes those trusty spuds: 4 medium-sized ones
  • Mayonnaise creamy and dreamy: 3 tbsp (45ml)
  • Dijon mustard for that sharp kick: 1 tbsp (15ml)
  • Red onion chopped as finely as you gossip: 1/4 cup (60ml)
  • Fresh parsley chopped with love: 2 tbsp (30ml)
  • Salt and pepper the iconic duo: sprinkle to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat things up by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get it ready for what’s coming!
  2. Whisk those eggs in a bowl like there’s no tomorrow.
  3. In a separate hangout, mix macadamia nuts with breadcrumbs. They’ll become best friends in no time.
  4. Dive the chicken breast into the egg party, and then introduce it to the macadamia and breadcrumb crew.
  5. Let’s sizzle! Heat olive oil in your favorite skillet and sear that chicken until it’s rocking a golden tan, about 2 minutes each side.
  6. Once tanned, let the chicken chill in the oven for around 20 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, those potatoes need a hot bath. Boil them until they’re just right.
  8. Drain those spuds, let them cool a bit, then chop ’em up.
  9. Mix mayo, mustard, onion, and parsley in a bowl like they’re ingredients in a magic potion.
  10. Bring in the potatoes, toss them in the mix, and season like you mean it.
