Delicious dish! My family enjoyed it and my son said it was the best chicken he'd ever had. I might salt the chicken breasts before coating them with the maple syrup. I also pounded them between waxed paper to make them thin & even.

I made some changes to this and I think that is why we liked it so much. I read that people had trouble getting the pecans to stick, so I ground them fairly fine in the food processor, and then mixed them with preseasoned breadcrumbs. This stayed on the chicken nicely and you still got the taste of the pecans. I browned them on the stove top as directed, but then placed them under the broiler to finish them up. This kept the breading from getting soggy.

Wanted something different for chicken breasts This was IT!. I seasoned the chicken breasts with Montreal Chicken Spice and Garlic Powder before adding the other ing. Turned out wonderfull. You must use a food prosessor or chopper for the pecans. That way they have no trouble staying on the chicken. Do not use high heat or the pecan will burn. Cooked in no time and was tender and moist. My 91 year old Mother said it was devine. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

The flavors (and previous reviews) involved make this sound like a tantalizing recipe, but I found the end result to be a little disappointing. The chicken tastes more like faux fried chicken, and with the price of pecans (and the high fat content), I'd advise prepping the real deal if you have the time.

I can't say enough about this chicken, my family absolutely raved about it and they are very picky. A friend of mine tried it and said it was the best chicken recipe he had ever tasted. Wonderful! KNewman

I put my pecans thru my food processor to get them really fine and added some garlic and onion powders. Didn't want the chicken to be overly sweet, so I lightly brushed them. I also used the thin breasts which allowed them to cook thru. Once cooked, I removed the meat, added a bit of flour and wine to the pan which made a nice light sauce. Thanks Rhonda!

Absolutely wonderful way to prepare good old chicken breasts! Loved it and plan to make it for company. Don't know if kids would like it or not. My guess is yes. Not only will I make this frequently but I will pass the recipe along. Thanks! SHARON

Very tasty. Take care to crush the nuts pretty fine or they don't stick as well to the meat.
