Baked Chicken with Parmesan crust
Succulent chicken thighs are coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs, cheese, paprika and garlic and baked until golden and crispy. A grownup version of chicken nuggets, I guess. You don’t get much sauce with this dish so I normally serve with a mushroom sauce and veggies.
Skinless chicken thighs?
You can use the chicken thighs skinless or with the skin on. The leaner version you get without skin. If you prefer, use boneless chicken and roll the thighs up before you dip into the crust mixture. You can also use chicken breast.
Also try the Chicken Casserole, Gentse waterzooi, Chicken Paprikash or Barbecued Chicken Drumsticks.
