Ingredients

  • 6 split chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup honey

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 cup fine breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup pecans, finely chopped
  • ½ cup parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. With a mallet, pound each chicken breast until very flat. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, egg, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper and onion powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and pecans. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
