2 pounds chicken tenders
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bags (10 ounces each) mixed baby greens
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 Bosc pears, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup Danish blue cheese, crumbled
Dressing, recipe follows
Sugared Pecans, recipe follows
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place eggs in a medium bowl. Place panko in another bowl. Dip chicken first in eggs, then in panko.

  • Carefully melt sugar in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir in cayenne pepper, salt and pecans. Stir until nuts are well coated, then transfer to a plate lined with wax paper coated with cooking spray. When cool, break into pieces. Store in an airtight container if making ahead of time.

The combination of sweet and spicy pecans and sweet berries in this chicken salad makes it a taste sensation! I have given tins of the pecans alone as gifts at Christmas time; they are delicious. The berries listed are suggestions; substitute whatever kinds you fancy, in whatever quantities! Makes a beautiful summer dinner.
