This recipe is from http://www.eatingwell.com/. The flavor is so unique (with the orange zest and chili powder) and was super delicious. Don't overcook the chicken - it's best with the breading when it's super juicy!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
1 tasblespoon oil
Directions:
1. Place pecans, breadcrumbs, orange zest, and chili powder in a food processor or blender and pulse until pecans are finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish. Whisk egg and water in shallow dish until combined. Dip each chicken breast into the egg and then dredge both sides in the pecan mixture.
2.Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside (about 4 minutes per side). Serve immediately.
*Serves 4
*I also coated and cooked some shrimp with the pecan mixture since I had some and it was delicious! I also made a lemon garlic spinach to go with the meal which complemented the citrus flavor in the chicken from the orange zest. A GREAT recipe -- very unique flavor!
