About Crusted chicken

Crusted Chicken is a flavorful dish made by coating chicken in a mixture of breadcrumbs, herbs, spices, and sometimes parmesan cheese, then baking or frying it to achieve a golden, crispy exterior. Originating from European cuisines, it draws influences from Italian and French cooking styles. This dish is rich in protein from the chicken, making it a satisfying and energizing option. When baked, it can be a healthier alternative to fried chicken, reducing fat content while maintaining crunchiness. However, the choice of coating ingredients and preparation method can impact its nutritional profile; using whole grain breadcrumbs or reducing added fats can enhance its health benefits. Crusted Chicken pairs well with a variety of vegetables or whole-grain sides, creating a balanced meal that's both hearty and nutritious.
