Pecan Chicken

Pecan Chicken

Diana Rattray
If you're watching fat and calories, use more bread crumbs and cut back on the pecans a bit, and use a light mayonnaise.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves without skin
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Creole mustard or a spicy brown mustard
  • 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs or fine soft bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup pecans
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons melted butter, or butter-flavored spray

Preparation:

Wash chicken breasts; pat dry. Put between sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly to an even thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Combine mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl.

In a food processor or blender, process the bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley until fine. Coat chicken generously with the mayonnaise mustard mixture then coat with crumbs. Place in a greased baking dish and drizzle or spray a small amount of melted butter over each chicken breast.

Bake at 375° for 20 minutes; turn and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until browned and chicken is cooked through.
Serves 4.
