PECAN AND PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS
So easy, get everything ready ahead of time including coating the breasts then refrigerate the chicken until you want to cook it! - Takes 20 minutes to cook! This recipe is from Bon Appetit August 2006 tweaked a tad by me. We enjoyed it. Panko crumbs are available at most Oriental Super markets. There won't be a lot of sauce just enough to drizzle over the breasts

- For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just be sure to toast them in a pan with some butter or oil before using them.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
