Preparation

Step 1

1. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick.

2. In shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, pecans and parsley. In another shallow dish, place yogurt. Dip chicken into yogurt, then coat with crumb mixture.

3. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Cook chicken in oil 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center and coating is golden brown.


To complete the meal, serve with mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli with lemon-pepper seasoning and breadsticks.

Tip

You can substitute chopped walnuts or almonds for the pecans.
