2 servings: 267 mg. sodium per serving

2 (4 oz. each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1/2-inch thick
No salt added pecan nuts
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
1/8 teaspoon salt

Prep. Instructions

1. Grind enough pecan nuts in a grinder or food processor to make 1/4 cup chopped nuts. The ground nuts should be large enough to give a crunchy texture to the chicken, about 1/16 inch in size.

2. Place chopped pecans into a bowl. Add pepper, garlic granules and salt. Stir to combine well.

3. Beat egg well in a separate bowl with 1 Tablespoon water.

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Place chicken breasts onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the top of each breast with about 1/2 teaspoon of the beaten egg. Sprinkle each breast evenly with 2 Tablespoons flavored chopped pecans. Press lightly to help pecans stick to the breasts.

3. Bake until chicken breasts are done, about 20 minutes. Serve.
