Chicken breaded with panko crumbs, can sub boneless skinless chicken thighs for the breasts, just adjust cooking times.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, bread crumbs
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Mix maple syrup, mayo and salt in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish mix panko crumbs and pecans.
3. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
4. Dip chicken into syrup mixture, then into crumbs.
5. Place on greased baking sheet (I use a cooling rack placed on a baking sheet so the chicken gets crispy on both sides).
6. Spray top of the chicken with cooking spray.
7. Bake 15-20 minutes, turning once (do not have to turn if you place on a rack) until thickest part of the chicken is 165 degrees F and the coating is golden brown.
