About Pecan-crusted chicken

Pecan-Crusted Chicken is a savory dish with Southern-inspired roots, blending classic comfort with a flavorful crunch. This protein-packed meal features tender chicken breasts coated in a mix of finely chopped pecans and breadcrumbs, lightly seasoned with herbs and spices. The pecan crust not only delivers a satisfying nutty flavor but also provides heart-healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins like vitamin E. Typically pan-seared or baked, this preparation helps minimize added oils, making it a lighter choice compared to fried alternatives. While the lean chicken offers a great source of high-quality protein, the calorie count can vary depending on portion size and any added ingredients, such as butter or sugary glazes. Pair with a side of fresh greens or roasted vegetables for a nutrient-balanced meal that highlights its wholesome qualities while staying deliciously indulgent.
