Pecan Crusted Chicken

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is baked, slice it and serve it over the mixed greens salad. Drizzle with homemade raspberry vinaigrette before serving.
