Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sriracha
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan
1 cup pecans
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 thighs), halved
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • For the ketchup: Stir together the ketchup, vinegar, sriracha, Worcestershire and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and spray it generously with cooking spray.
  • Pulse the pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Add the panko and pulse until just combined. Pour into a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk in the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
  • Whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess. Dip in the egg to coat and let the excess drip off. Add to the pecan panko mixture and turn to coat, lightly pressing so that the crumbs adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
  • Spray the chicken generously with cooking spray and bake until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the spicy, tangy ketchup on the side.

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).
  • For a crispier crust, press the chicken breasts firmly into the pecan mixture before pan-frying.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a sharper flavor that pairs well with the honey and pecans.
  • You can use any type of honey for this recipe. However, a darker honey, such as buckwheat honey, will give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pecans by hand. However, a food processor will give you a more even chop.

Conclusion:

Pecan-crusted honey mustard chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the pecan crust adds a delightful crunch. The honey mustard sauce is tangy and sweet, and it pairs perfectly with the chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
