- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
- 1-1/2 tsp freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Place chicken between two sheets of wax paper and pound to 1/4″ thickness.
Place pecans, bread crumbs, orange zest, salt, and paprika in a food processor and pulse until the pecans are finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish. Whisk egg and water in another shallow dish until combined. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture and then dredge both sides in the pecan mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in oil on both sides, 2-4 minutes per side, until chicken juices run clear. Serve immediately.
