SHALLOW-FRY BUTTERMILK PECAN CHICKEN



Shallow-Fry Buttermilk Pecan Chicken image

This is a yummy, easy melt-in-your-mouth chicken dish! I think Panko crumbs are the best thing since sliced bread, I use them all of the time. To toast the pecans, stir them in melted butter, then bake at 350 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn. When turning the chicken, be as gentle as you can, I use a spatula. Cook time does not include the marinading time. This is from Claire Robinson, a new chef on Food Network. Check her out, I think she has some great recipes! This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled, just keep the chicken in the oven on warm until all are fried. Hope you enjoy! Note: I have tried to correct the ingredients to say 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs, but it won't change.

I can't remember where I got this recipe, maybe Southern Living. I love it and it's very quick to prepare. The ground pecans and sesame seeds in the coating give the chicken a little crunch and great flavor.
