Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 -3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6-8 ounce)
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, zest of, minced
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken breasts into cutlets, cutting into thirds and gently pounding to an even thickness of 1/2 inch (easier and cleaner if done between two layers of plastic wrap).
  • Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice with a fork in a wide, shallow dish; set aside.
  • Combine bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, zest, pecans, and seasonings in another wide shallow dish.
  • Crust chicken breasts by dipping both sides of prepared chicken into egg white mixture. Then applying crumbs to both sides, patting them on as much as possible. Transfer to a cookie rack to air-dry on both sides for 20-30 minutes. (This will set crust so it will stay on chicken and crisp up nicely).
  • Sauté chicken in oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on bottom. Turn carefully with a spatula and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. This should take about 8 more minutes. Don't overcook, you don't want it to dry out.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the oven.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The meat should be white and opaque all the way through, with no pink or red remaining.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in the pecan crust to suit your taste preferences. If you like a milder flavor, use less cayenne pepper, or omit it altogether.
  • Pecan-crusted chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
  • Leftover pecan-crusted chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
