This is a cinch to make and transforms chicken strips into a tasty, crunchy, new family favorite!
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1-1/2 tablespoons Emeril's Essence
2 large eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
2 lbs. chicken breast filets
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on the baking sheet. Spray the rack lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the pecan halves, bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of Emeril's Essence in the food processor. Pulse for 30 to 45 seconds. Pour into a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, olive oil and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of Emeril's Essence.
Dip each chicken strip in the egg mixture and then dredge each strip on the pecan mixture. Gently shake off any excess breading from the chicken strips.
Place the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking rack and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the strips are cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and serve with a side of your favorite mustard or mustard sauce.
Here's the receipt for Emeril's Essence.
2-1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and store in an air-tight container.
