Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375F. Dredge each breast in flour, dip in egg, then press into the chopped pecans.
  2. Arrange on a lined baking sheet and season with salt.
  3. Bake 22 to 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Whisk the honey and Dijon together for the dipping sauce.
  5. Serve the chicken with the honey mustard on the side.

Notes

Watch the pecans closely so the coating toasts but doesn't burn.
