Chicken tenders get a grownup makeover with this Pecan Crusted Chicken recipe! Delicious plain, and even better with homemade honey mustard dipping sauce!
Do you remember how much you loved Chicken Nuggets as a kid? For me, it was mostly about the sauce, because the breaded chicken itself wasn’t all that flavorful. (I wasn’t a normal kid…I never really liked anything bland).
This Pecan Crusted Chicken will give your taste buds something to cheer about. With a delicious mixture of crushed pecans, bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, this chicken is packed with flavor. It’s quite delicious all by itself, but as I mentioned above, I love my dipping sauce. And homemade honey mustard is super easy to make! I bet your kids will like it too!
