Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Grapes image

I have combined several pecan chicken dishes to make what I think is the best! This is an easy recipe for a weeknight meal, or nice enough for entertaining. Serve with roasted acorn squash for a winter comfort meal. The grapes make a beautiful presentation, so try it!

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
½ cup buttermilk
1 egg
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup ground pecans
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed
5 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup pecan halves
½ cup red grapes
½ cup green grapes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a shallow bowl.
  • Combine flour, ground pecans, sesame seeds, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a deep dish.
  • Dip each chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture and transfer to the flour mixture; turn to coat.
  • Arrange coated chicken in the baking pan. Drizzle melted butter on top. Sprinkle pecan halves over chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until coating is golden, about 30 minutes. Scatter red grapes and green grapes into the baking pan. Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.
