Pecan Crusted Chicken is a flavorful dish combining the rich nuttiness of pecans with tender, baked or pan-seared chicken breast. Inspired by Southern cuisine, this dish pairs lean poultry with a crisp coating made from finely chopped pecans and breadcrumbs, often seasoned with herbs, spices, and a touch of Dijon mustard for depth. The pecans provide heart-healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins such as vitamin E and magnesium, while the chicken is an excellent source of lean protein. When baked rather than fried, this dish can be a wholesome option that balances indulgence with nutrition. However, if prepared with excessive butter or oil, its calorie content may increase. Typically served with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, Pecan Crusted Chicken delivers a satisfying crunch and earthy flavor that aligns with both hearty Southern tradition and modern health-conscious eating.
