What is the most Southern meal that you have made? This is a very Southern meal. This post is about the entree, but stay tuned to see the other items featured - (first up) pecan crusted chicken, cheddar biscuits, and fried okra.
Make sure you allow for the 1 hour in step 3.
Reese Witherspoon says she uses these for a snack on summer nights on skewers, but I skipped the skewers and just ate them for dinner.
They are delicious.
Ingredients:
8 chicken tenders
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard (I use Creole.)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
2. Stir together the mayonnaise and mustard in a wide, shallow bowl. Combine the pecans, bread crumbs, and Parmesan in a separate wide, shallow bowl.
3. Coat the chicken in the mayo mixture and then roll in the crumb mixture to thoroughly coat. When all the tenders are breaded, place them on the rack and put the whole pan in the refrigerator for one hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 400. Bake the chicken on the rack over the pan in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
