Pecan-crusted chicken strips
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts (less than 2lbs total)
1 cup pecan meal (you can crush pecan halves in the blender or food
processor if you don't have meal; process until coarse crumbs)
3 tablespoons cornstarch or potato starch
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
pinch black pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (+ as needed)
Instructions:
Pound chicken breasts until less than 1" thick and cut into strips. Pat dry with paper towels.
Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat
Whisk egg and water together in a bowl
Mix other ingredients thoroughly in a separate bowl to make pecan
coating, making sure starch is evenly mixed in and there are no lumps
Dip each strip of chicken in the egg/water mixture, then immediately dredge in pecan coating.
Place coated strips in heated skilled.
Cook for approximately 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 6 minutes.
If making multiple batches, scrape debris out of skillet and refresh oil between batches.
Excellent for a salad topping or alone with dipping sauces.

All comments may be moderated. If you think you're entitled to free speech, you are, on your own blog. This is my blog. I have opinions that are often subjective, and as I'm not running a documentary or research organization, there's nothing wrong with a little subjectivity. I also have the right to not approve or delete comments I find mean-spirited, idiotic or encouraging what I consider objectional, dangerous, or plain stupid practices (such as weight loss or cosmetic surgery, changing your body to please others (i.e. "dieting"), spreading hate, etc.). If you voice disagreement with anything I say, and you do it in an intelligent matter with clear research citations to your claims and conclusions (popular media articles don't count) I will probably allow the comment. I will also probably debate you and try to refute your claims. If at any time that devolves into stupidity or attack, I will start deleting your comments. If you disagree with what I say by spouting pseudoscientific popular opinion, displaying prejudice or hate, or otherwise acting like an ass-hat, I will delete your comment. That's pretty much the policy, subject to change without notice :-)
