Walnut and Herb Crusted Chicken image

This is absolutely my favorite way of preparing baked chicken thighs. I find the coating is enough to coat 7 thighs. I use chicken thighs with the bone in, but I pull the skin off. Skinless breasts may also be used, but we think the thighs are more flavorful. This recipe came from an ad for Diamond walnuts.
