Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad

Blend:

bullet2 egg whites
bullet2 teaspoon cornstarch
bulletJuice of ½ lemon

Combine:

bullet1 cup coarse dry bread crumbs
bullet1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
bullet1 teaspoon kosher salt
bullet¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
bulletZest of one lemon, minced
bullet¾ cup finely chopped pecans
bullet½ teaspoon dried oregano
bullet½ teaspoon dried thyme
bullet½ teaspoon paprika
bullet¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
bullet2 Tablespoons olive oil
bullet2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Dip chicken breasts into egg white wash. Crust the chicken with the pecan mixture. Sit on wire rack for 20-30 minutes at room temperature to set crust.

Sauté breasts in 2 tablespoons olive oil for 3 minutes. Put skillet into oven, pre-heated to 400 degrees and bake for 10 minutes.

Slice breasts and serve over salad with choice of dressing and topped with feta cheese.

NOTE: This, too, is from Cuisine at Home and can be found at www.CuisineAtHome.com. I did use the honey mustard dressing from the same magazine, which is elsewhere on this site. Instead of bread crumbs, I used Stouffers Herb Stuffing and put it in my small Cuisinart to make the chunks smaller. I chose to use my hand turned chopper to break up the pecans, as I did not want them as fine as the cuisinart would make them. The chicken itself would be great as an entrée with a starch and a green vegetable and salad!
