Deliciously Healthy Pecan Chicken Fingers: The Ultimate Recipe for Amazing Flavor

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup crushed pecans
  • 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

Instructions

  1. Creating Deliciously Healthy Pecan Chicken Fingers is simple. Follow these steps for a successful outcome:
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  4. Make Coating: In a bowl, combine crushed pecans, whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Prepare Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the egg and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  6. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, roll it in the pecan-breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken fingers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  8. Spray for Crispiness: Lightly spray the chicken fingers with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness.
  9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
  10. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
  11. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
