2 lb chicken breast cut into strips or chicken tenders
1/2 c pecans
1 1/2 c panko bread crumbs
1/2 c flaked sweetened coconut
2 large eggs
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
cooking oil for pan frying

Steps:

  • 1. grind pecans in food processor until they are like a course meal
  • 2. combine ground pecans, panko and coconut with salt and pepper to taste and mix well to make breading for chicken
  • 3. whisk 2 large eggs together and dredge chicken strips or tenders in egg and roll in pecan/coconut breading line on parchment paper covered baking sheet continue until all chicken is covered in breading.
  • 4. Heat enough oil in a large fry pan to cover half way up chicken when put into pan (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches) fry in small batches, don't over crowd the chicken or it will not get a good crust on it.
