Baked Pecan Honey Chicken | Sweet & Salty!
This Easy Baked Honey Chicken recipe has the best pretzel and pecan crust and makes an impressive main dish for a dinner party or special holiday gathering. Learn how to get a crunchy pecan coating and a juicy, perfectly cooked chicken breast that is secretly gluten-free and an easy meal prep chicken recipe!
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. chicken breasts, organic
¼ cup flour, gluten-free, 1-to-1 blend
¼ tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. black pepper
1 ¼ cup pretzel twists, gluten-free
⅔ cup pecans, or 3 oz., raw
1 egg
1 Tbsp. milk, cashew or almond milk
2 Tbsp. butter
2-3 Tbsp. honey
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to 1-inch thick and cut chicken breasts into 4-ounce portions.
In a mini-prep food processor add pretzels and process until they form crumbs. You should end up with about ⅔ cup of crushed pretzels.
Remove pretzels from the processor and add the pecans. Pulse until the pecans are finely chopped. You should have about ½ cup of finely chopped pecans.
In three separate shallow bowls add the flour, salt, and pepper to the first bowl, whisk the egg and milk in the second bowl, and toss together the pretzels and pecans in the third bowl.
Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dredge in the egg wash, and then coat completely in the pretzel-pecan mixture. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
Place coated chicken breasts in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and top each with ½ tablespoon of butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
Just before serving drizzle 1/2-1 tablespoon of honey on each chicken breast. Serve immediately and enjoy!
RECIPE NOTES:
Pretzels should weigh roughly 70 grams.
Nutrition facts have been adjusted based on some of the flour, egg wash, and pretzel/pecan mixture remaining.
Glutino pretzel twists are my suggested pretzel to use. However, if you cannot find them Snyder's gluten-free pretzels or another regular pretzel will also work great but may need a little additional salt to taste.

Ingredients
4 chicken thighs (or chicken of your choice)
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic pepper
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp mustard (spicy brown, Dijon, yellow)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 c all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2-3 c olive oil
Instructions
Season cleaned chicken with paprika and garlic pepper. (For better-seasoned meat, season the night before.) In a bowl, mix together the egg, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. In another bowl place the chopped pecans and in another bowl, place the flour.
Begin by coating the chicken with flour, dip into the egg mixture and then dip into the pecans. The best way to remember this procedure is to remember F.E.B.
Heat the fryer to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the coated chicken in the fryer. Every 3-5 minutes flip the chicken and do so several times until the chicken is done and a golden brown. The temperature of poultry should be between 45-60 degrees.
When done, remove from pan and allow the chicken to drain from extra oil. Drizzle honey glazed bourbon sauce, here's the link on how to make the glaze:
Serve and enjoy!
