Maple Pecan Chicken - cooking recipe

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

Preparation

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix maple syrup, mayo and salt in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish mix panko crumbs and pecans.
Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
Dip chicken into syrup mixture, then into crumbs.
Place on greased baking sheet (I use a cooling rack placed on a baking sheet so the chicken gets crispy on both sides).
Spray top of the chicken with cooking spray.
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.
