- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Coat the chicken pieces completely in the flour and shake off excess.
- Next, dip the flour coated chicken into the egg wash.
- Finish by placing the flour and egg wash coated chicken pieces in the pecan cheese bread crumb mixture and press coating firmly on the chicken.
- Place the breaded chicken portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of each chicken piece has reached 165°F and the crust is crunchy and brown.
- Great served over a bed of dressed green salad with shaved parmesan cheese and toasted pecan halves. Add seasonal fruit or dried fruit for additional layers of flavor and texture.
