PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Pecan Crusted Chicken with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. Tender chicken breasts in a crispy pecan coating, baked until golden and juicy!

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large eggs
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ tablespoons grainy brown mustard (or an additional tablespoon of Dijon)
1 tablespoon honey (plus additional to taste)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the pecans until they form fine crumbs (but don't over-process or they will turn into pecan butter). Place the mixture in a large, sturdy ziptop bag.
  • To the bag, add the breadcrumbs, basil, salt, and pepper. Seal the top and shake to combine.
  • Place the chicken on a cutting board and cover it with a large sheet of plastic wrap. With a meat tenderizer, rolling pin, or your fist, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. They need not be super thin-just flatten the middle so that the chicken is relatively flat and will bake more evenly.
  • Working one chicken breast at a time, dip the chicken in the egg wash, then place in the ziptop bag and shake to coat with the pecan mixture. Gently press the pecan mixture so that it sticks to the chicken, then lay the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken. Bake until the chicken reaches 160 to 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Chicken is considered cooked at 165 degrees F, but I like to remove mine several degrees early and let the carryover cooking to finish the rest (this ensures the chicken breast is juicy and does not overcook).
  • While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, both mustards, honey, salt, and cayenne. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Enjoy the pecan crusted chicken hot, with the dipping sauce.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 -3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6-8 ounce)
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, zest of, minced
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken breasts into cutlets, cutting into thirds and gently pounding to an even thickness of 1/2 inch (easier and cleaner if done between two layers of plastic wrap).
  • Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice with a fork in a wide, shallow dish; set aside.
  • Combine bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, zest, pecans, and seasonings in another wide shallow dish.
  • Crust chicken breasts by dipping both sides of prepared chicken into egg white mixture. Then applying crumbs to both sides, patting them on as much as possible. Transfer to a cookie rack to air-dry on both sides for 20-30 minutes. (This will set crust so it will stay on chicken and crisp up nicely).
  • Sauté chicken in oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on bottom. Turn carefully with a spatula and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. This should take about 8 more minutes. Don't overcook, you don't want it to dry out.
