This was really delicious (despite my poor photo). I always have such a tough time with breaded dishes, and this was no different. The macadamia crust fell off during searing, so I just scooped the breading out of the pan and piled it on top of each chicken breast when I served it. It was still quite good and got lots of oohs and aahs from my husband and boys. It's just not as appealing looking as it would have been if the breading stayed in place during cooking. It was still quite tasty though, and I'm glad I made this recipe. Made for Susie's World Tour 2018 (Australia).

This was so good! I loved the crispy coating of macadamia and fresh bread crumbs. The method is a familiar one to me, as I do it often with different dredging ingredients, and I really loved this version. Thank you! Made for Susie's World Tour 2018 - Australia.

I used the thin cut chicken breasts for this, and the coating was wonderful on them. I did increase the nuts a bit and decreased the breadcrumbs with no problem. Just delicious!! Thanks for sharing!! Made for FYC tag game.

This was a very good coating, I used it to coat Ahi tuna instead of chicken and the combination was delicious. Made for ZWT 8 for The Wild Bunch

Your chicken was a real big heat.<br/>I used chicken breast which I halved horizontally in two pieces.<br/>The nuts gave a special flavor and a crunchy structure, the breast was moist, tender and trough.<br/>Really perfect, thanks for you recipe.
