Description
Sweet crunchy and delicious would be the best way to describe this dish. This is by far the best chicken recipe I have had in some time.
Ingredients
- 2 – Large chicken breast or 4 small breast
- 1/4 C – Maple syrup
- 2 TB – Mayonnaise
- 3/4 C – Panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 C – Chopped pecans
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400
- Pound out the chicken breast to about a 1/4″
- I used 2 very large breast but I think generally 4 normal breast will work
- Mix the maple and mayo in a shallow bowl
- In another bowl mix up the Panko and chopped pecans
- Dip each breast into the maple mixture, cover completely
- Then dip into the panko mixture until breast is completely covered
- Grease or spray a large baking sheet and place breast on it
- Bake for 15 minutes, flip then bake for another 20
- And that’s it!
Notes
My wife suggested adding some brown sugar to this because she has a sweet tooth. For me it is plenty sweet but if you’re like her it’s worth a shot. I think she would probably pour chocolate over this if I let her.
