Im cooking my BF a meal when i go up tomorrow...?!
Answers: its chicken with a herb and parmesan crust. the crust also has walnuts in it but i dont want to use nuts-is there anything else i can use which will give the same crunch and texture?
Just omit the nuts, crazy. He's just going to simply love the fact you are cooking for him! Dinner made with love....awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! Or at least I would love it! The only time my husband cooks is when we go out to eat, hahaahhahaa!!
Why not use bread crumbs, make a batter and drench the chicken in Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
Crush corn flakes and use that. Its really good and absorbs the flavor.
croutons
breadcrumbs from bread thats stale but not mouldy
stale bread in food processor = breadcrumbs
seeds is a good shout as well
What about sunflower seeds? I would try the panko (tempura) crumbs, that would be a great crunch!!
Never mind him Jonesy, Your making me dribble. I don't care if the crust has Walnuts or Coconuts just get round here.
Crunchy Parmesan Chicken/Rachael Ray
1 cup cornflakes, lightly crushed
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
3 large eggs, beaten
Four 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedgescheese
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflakes, parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the eggs in another shallow bowl. Coat each chicken breast with the cornflake mixture, then the eggs, then again with the cornflake mixture; transfer to a wax-paperlined baking sheet.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean baking sheet. Bake the chicken until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve with the lemon wedges.
The breadcrumbs will make a crunchy texture, you don't have to add the nuts.

First of all what does BF stand for? Bloody fool or boyfriend?
Toast some bread crumbs and substitute them for the nuts. Scrunch up some cornflakes.
Why choose a recipe when you don't want to use an essential part of the ingredients?
Croutons is good
oats or plain crisps will work x
