At first I was a bit skeptical about combining pecans and chicken but after tasting it, let me just say… I made this more than a couple of times.

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large egg, lightly beaten

¾-1½ cups finely chopped pecans

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chopped pecans in a bowl and the egg in an additional bowl. Dip chicken in egg and then into pecans, pressing firmly to adhere. If pecans are chopped too big they will not adhere properly. Cook the chicken in hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the exterior is nicely browned, transfer to sheet pan and place in the oven. Cook until flesh is white and any juices run clear.Serve with a side dish of delicious veggies.Enjoy! 3.5.3208
