Pecan Crusted Pesto Chicken Recipe
 
Ingredients
  • 1 lbs Chicken Tenderloins or Chicken Breast Fillets
  • 4 tbls Dijon Mustard
  • ½ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ½ cup Diced Pecans
  • 1 tbl Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Prepared Pesto
  • ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.
Instructions
  1. In a bowl add your dijon mustard to the chicken. Remove to place on lined sheet pan. Top each piece of chicken with a handful of the Panko/Pecan mixture. Then pop your pan in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. (If you are using Chicken Breasts, the kinds that are about 1+ inches thick, then you will need to bake them closer to 25-30 minutes.)
  2. When they are finished cooking, (inside temp measures 160 degrees) remove to add a small handful of mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven just to melt the cheese and pesto together. Just for a minute.
  3. Enjoy.
