Believe it or not, this is a clean eating recipe. You wouldn’t be able to tell from the taste. Sometimes healthy can also be flavorless. Not the case with this recipe. The pecans combined with the panko crumbs create the perfect crunch for the chicken. The small amount of seasoning goes a long way. Best part is this recipe only takes about 20 minutes, start to finish. It’s a family favorite in our house, my picky toddler even devoured it. Enjoy!
