Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 2 chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup walnuts, 0.25 cup parsley, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped.

  3. Step 3

    Rub the walnut mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 15-18 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and fragrant. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

  5. Step 5

    Slice 3 radishes thinly and scatter over the chicken before serving.
