Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 to 10 chicken tenders
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1 1/2 cups ground pecans
Directions
Combine parsley, salt, onion powder and black pepper in a shallow bowl and mix well. Coat chicken with parsley mixture.
Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Beat in mustard.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Dip chicken in egg mixture. Coat with pecans. Arrange in prepared skillet.
Cook chicken, turning once, until cooked through and browned on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Secret Tip
For the quickest cleanup, use a sheet of waxed paper instead of a plate for mixing the parsley, salt, onion powder and black pepper. When you've finished coating the chicken, simply discard the paper. You'll have one less dish to wash.
