Pecan Crusted Chicken
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse the pecans until finely chopped. In a shallow bowl, combine the chopped pecans, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Coat the Chicken
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat with the pecan mixture, pressing it onto the chicken to adhere.
- 3
Bake the Chicken
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
- 4
Prepare the Salad
While the chicken is baking, prepare the salad by combining mixed greens, mandarin oranges, tajin garapiñado pecans, dried cranberries, and blue cheese crumbs in a large bowl.
- 5
Serve
Once the chicken is baked, slice it and serve it over the mixed greens salad. Drizzle with homemade raspberry vinaigrette before serving.
