Love peanuts? Then eat up. Dr. George Washington Carver discovered more than 300 ways to use peanuts!
A member of the dried bean family, not a tree nut, peanuts provide protein. And they’re also packed with heart-healthy substances— among them folate, magnesium, good (monounsaturated) fats, and two plant substances called resveratrol and plant sterols—yet no cholesterol!
Enjoy chopped peanuts in salads, on cereal, in baked goods, in smoothies. For a new way to enjoy peanuts, try this:
Peanut-Crusted Chicken
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1⁄4 cup prepared mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup finely chopped, unsalted dry- roasted peanuts
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
In a pan or shallow bowl, combine flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and tarragon; mix well. In a second pan, combine mustard and honey. Place peanuts in a third pan. Dip each chicken breast in flour mixture, then honey mustard, and finally in peanuts to coat. Heat butter in a 10- to 12-inch skillet; add chicken and cook over medium-low heat until internal temperature reaches 170°F and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Makes 4 servings.
