Oven-baked chicken tenders, adapted from Taste, spiced up with a crunchy Middle Eastern spice blend of toasted, coarsely ground hazelnuts, sesame, and spices. You can serve them with a sweet-sour sauce of honey and balsamic vinegar or on a bed of salad of choice.
Originally from Egypt, dukkah is a mixture of nuts (hazelnuts, almonds or pistachios), seeds and spices. The traditional way to serve fragrant Dukkah is with olive oil and bread – dunk the bread in olive oil, then the dukkah. You can also use for a crust on lamb or fish.

- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Spread the hazelnuts over a baking tray and cook in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes or until toasted. Rub the hazelnuts between a clean tea towel to remove as much skin as possible. Place the toasted hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Add to the bowl with the hazelnuts.
- Place coriander, cumin seeds and black peppercorns in a dry frying pan over medium heat, and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic and seeds begin to pop. Transfer seeds to a mortar and pestle with sea salt. Pound until finely crushed. Add the crushed spices to the hazelnut mixture and mix well.
- Place chicken tenders on a plate. Coat both sides with hazelnut dukkah. Place them on a baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake at 190C/375F for 18-20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Place the lentils in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and cook until they are just barely tender and still quite red, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process. Shake out all excess water, and then put the red lentils into a large bowl.
- Cook the broccoli in a large saucepan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp. Refresh under cold running water. Drain and add to the lentils in the bowl.
- Whisk together the honey, red wine vinegar and the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the dressing, red onion and grape tomatoes to the lentils and broccoli. Toss to combine. Transfer salad to the serving plates and top with dukkah coated chicken tenders.

Have never heard of dukhah. What an interesting combination of ingredients and what a clever way to use them. I love adding a crunchy ingredient to salads and with your crunchy chicken you get the crunch and the protein. What a salad Angie!
I love the idea of using dukkah as a crust - I have some in my pantry so am going to try this for sure. I also really like your lentil salad - what a nice healthy and delicious meal!
This is really interesting, but delicious way to make chicken. I love the salad too... I can see how they could complement each other harmoniously! Beautiful!
This is a delicious and balanced meal and I like the Middle-Eastern twist to it with the dukkah-crusted chicken.
This looks just fantastic. The crust on that chicken is superb. I wish I could dig my teeth into those chicken tenders. Great presentation of this dish!

Dear Angie, Such a beakutiful chicken meal. I love the tenders and the salad is perfect. xoxo Catherine
I'm seeing dukkah everywhere and I must try this spice blend! This sounds like the perfect recipe to appreciate it. Love that these chicken tenders are oven baked too (mostly because I don't like the mess/danger involved with frying! :) beautiful Angie.
I am inspired. They are the healthiest yummiest chicken tenders I've seen in a while. The coating looks so crispy and perfect. I just learnt what dukkah is. Your blogs teaches new things everytime.
I love the spices that you used in the recipe. I can imagine how flavorful and crunchy they are. Love that they are oven baked, too. ;)
That is a beautiful, nutritious, delicious dish. Lovely presentation Angie :)
Lovely nut crust, Angie! It would work so well for just about anything I'm sure, but it sure does make the venerable old chicken tender look much more appetizing!
I wonder if this would work with tofu as it does look really good :D
@Emma @ Bake Then Eat I am very sure tofu will work great too.
Ohh!! I love dukkah. Hadn't thought about using it this way. I'll certainly be making this recipe. Thanks Angie. You've done it again.
Gina
I love every component of this meal Angie, looks delicious!
Those look like the best baked chicken I've ever seen. And I've been wanting to try dukkah for ages now. Superb!
Angie, I learn something new every time I visit your blog! I've never heard of dukkah, but it sounds like something I need to make and have on hand at all times!
Hi Angie,
Wow! This is fabulous!
I love the crust and the color, must be so delicious!

I love the fullness of the crust. I also use nuts for breading and everyone likes it.
I somehow missed this one... it looks and sounds incredible!
