Pecan-Crusted Chicken

One of my favorite recipesThis has become one of my favorite recipes to make. It reminds me of fried chicken. The only thing I've noticed is that the breading doesn't always turn out quite right - I'm still not quite sure why. I love serving it with mashed cauliflower. Pros: lightCons: have to mix breading exactly

My boyfriend is allergic to oranges, so I substituted lime and used ground cayenne pepper instead of the chipotle. I do not have anything to make the chicken into 1/2 inch thick, either, so I take a regular boneless chicken breast and slice it down into two thin pieces. This is one of our favorites and I usually make it once a week or every other week. If you love lime like I do, you'll love this version!

I may be the only person on here who did not like this dish. I just thought the orange zest and pecans overpowered any flavor of the chicken and the texture of the ground pecans was a little weird. Maybe it was because I subbed chili powder for the chipotle, which I couldn't find at the two stores I looked at?My son, on the other hand, LOVED it.

I love this chicken recipe - it is so tasty over a nice spinach salad. I, however, do not have anything to mash the chicken to 1/2 inch thick, so I baked the pecan-crusted chicken in the oven which is also super tasty and helpful to make sure the delicious crust does not come off when flipping the chicken over! Just an option if you don't have the necessary utensils like I didn't...

My husband and parent's both thought this was a very good recipe. I was able to find the spicy chipotle spice at Walmart and followed the recipe and it worked out great. I like the slight spiciness and citrus taste that the pecan breading then had. Very good and will make again, soon.
