Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thinly-sliced chicken cutlets)
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 cup pecan halves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning the meat
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, then set a large wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Lightly pound the chicken breasts to uniform thickness (about ½-inch).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey. Set aside.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs, pecans, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle with oil and mash with a fork until the oil is thoroughly incorporated.
  • Pat the chicken dry; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Brush each piece of chicken on all sides with the mayonnaise mixture. Dredge in the pecan mixture, gently pressing to make sure that both sides are evenly coated.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts on the wire rack set on the baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is golden brown and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F, about 20-25 minutes. Check the chicken towards the end of the cooking time, and if it's starting to get too dark, tent loosely with foil for the remainder of the time. You don't want the pecans to burn while the chicken cooks through.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup finely chopped pecans
½ cup dry bread crumbs
8 breast half, bone and skin removed (blank)s skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Tips:

  • Use fresh or thawed boneless, skinless chicken breasts for best results. If using frozen chicken, thaw completely before cooking.
  • To make the pecan crust, use a food processor to finely chop the pecans. You can also use a rolling pin to crush the pecans.
  • Be sure to coat the chicken breasts evenly in the pecan crust mixture. This will help the crust adhere to the chicken and create a delicious, crispy coating.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the blackberry wine sauce. This sauce is easy to make and adds a delicious flavor to the chicken.
  • Serve the pecan-crusted chicken with the blackberry wine sauce and your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great choices.
