Hazelnut Crusted Chicken

This is one of my favorite ways to have chicken.

4 Thawed boneless skinless chicken Brest
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups roasted hazelnuts
pepper
garlic salt
ground thyme
1/4 cup canola or olive oil

Preheat oven to 350.
chop hazelnuts and place in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish place beaten eggs. sprinkle garlic salt, pepper and thyme over chicken. Dip each chicken breast in the egg on both sides then dip into the nuts. Make sure to press the chicken into the nuts to make sure its coated generously. 
In a saucepan heat oil over medium heat and place chicken in pan. No more than two at a time. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. It will get a nice golden brown toast.
Place in a baking dish and finish cooking for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
