Pecan Crusted Chicken
from Fix Freeze and Feast - makes three batches 6 lbs chicken breast 2 c honey 1 c spicy brown mustard 3/4 c olive oil 1 T salt 1 T granulated garlic 1 T black pepper 3 C panko 1.5 C pecans, finely ground So I know these are called Pecan crusted chicken strips, but I didn't have pecans handy so I just used Panko crumbs and it was still fantastic. I tried these two different ways so far - pan fried and baked in the oven. I thought the pan fried method resulted in a much moister chicken. When I pan fry I brown on both sides with a small amount of oil. Then I add the marinade to the pan that is in the bag and simmer for at least 20 minutes. I know your first instinct with adding the marinade is that it was with the raw meat, but the simmering makes it all okay. This recipe is one of my new favorites.
