Maple Pecan Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2
   Mix maple syrup, mayo and salt in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish mix panko crumbs and pecans.
3. 3
   Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
4. 4
   Dip chicken into syrup mixture, then into crumbs.
5. 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. 6
   Spray top of the chicken with cooking spray.
7. 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.
