Ingredients
•   ¼ cup low-fat buttermilk
•   2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
•   4 (6-ounce) chicken cutlets
•   1/3 cup Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
•   1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
•   2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
•   ¾ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
•   ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
•   ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•   Cooking spray
•   Rosemary leaves (optional)



PREPARATION
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Preheat oven to 425°. Combine buttermilk and mustard in a shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Add chicken to buttermilk mixture, turning to coat. Allow coated chicken to rest in buttermilk mixture. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add Panko to pan; cook 3 minutes or until golden, stirring frequently. Pour browned Panko into a shallow dish and stir in walnuts, cheese, rosemary, salt and pepper.
Arrange a wire rack on a large baking sheet; coat rack with cooking spray. Use one hand to remove chicken from buttermilk mixture and place it into the Panko mixture. Use your other hand to coat it with the dry mixture. Place coated chicken cutlets on the wire rack. Bake chicken at 425° for 13 minutes or until juices run clear. Garnish with additional fresh chopped rosemary leaves if desired.
