Pecan- and Panko-Crusted Chicken Breasts image

Categories     Chicken     Nut     Sauté     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Pecan     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 cup finely chopped pecans
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, divided
1/4 cup minced shallots
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Mix panko and pecans in dish. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove skillet from heat; brush some of melted butter onto chicken, then coat chicken in panko mixture. Place skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown on bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn chicken over. Place skillet in oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 18 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter.
  • Using slotted spoon, remove any crumbs from skillet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and shallots; sauté over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add broth and simmer until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Mix in parsley. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper; drizzle over chicken.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy coating, make sure the chicken is dry before dredging it in the flour mixture. You can pat it dry with paper towels or let it air dry for a few minutes.
  • Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken in the flour mixture. This will help ensure that the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Pecan Parmesan Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the pecan Parmesan crust adds a delicious flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
