Method
Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Prepare the Cashew Crust
In a food processor, combine the raw cashews, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and dried thyme. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Coating and Baking
Coat the Chicken
Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Then, press the chicken into the cashew mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Bake the Chicken
Place the coated chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken to help it brown. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Serving
Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
