Pecan Coconut Crusted Chicken

By Lisa VanWilliams

Try this healthier crunchy alternative when you are craving fried chicken. The sweet maple mixed with the subtle taste of the coconut and pecans creates a flavorful Southern style chicken that will certainly change things up a bit.  We paired this with some roasted sweet potatoes and garlic spinach.

Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts thinned out
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
¾ cup pecans
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill Fine Macaroon Coconut
1 teaspoon salt
coconut oil


Directions:
Put the pecans in a food processor and pulse a few times.


Add flour, salt, coconut and pulse until the consistency of breadcrumbs.



Coat the chicken in maple syrup and cover the chicken breasts in pecan mixture.


Cover bottom of pan with coconut oil and drop breasts into pan.






Brown each side and put into oven for 15 minutes more at 350 to cook through. Enjoy!
