Oven Fried Pecan Chicken Breasts Food

PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

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.

PECAN-CRUSTED STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thick (a meat mallet or wooden spoon works well). Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle the goat cheese lengthwise on one half of each breast; then sprinkle with dill, orange zest and more salt and pepper. Fold in the short ends--like folding a burrito--then, starting on the half with cheese, roll up into a tight cylinder. Close the seams with toothpicks.
• Whisk the eggs in a wide, shallow dish. In a separate dish, combine the breadcrumbs and ground pecans. Sprinkle the stuffed chicken with salt and pepper. Dip in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumb mixture; shake off excess breading.
• Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and spray with coconut oil. Bake to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

• NOTE: You can adjust this recipe to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or chicken tenders. The total weight of boneless, skinless meat should equal 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds. You will want to reduce the cooking time for chicken tenders since they are a thinner piece of meat and will cook much quicker then a chicken breast.____I listed cayenne pepper as an optional ingredient in this recipe. I like a spicy kick to fried chicken. I probably wouldn't add the cayenne pepper if I was serving it to children._____For the buttermilk: I've used both regular and the low-fat versions. Both work well in this recipe._____For night before prepping: Mix seasoning and flour and put in plastic bag. Put chicken to marinate in buttermilk. Measure out butter and vegetable oil--combine in small covered bowl.
