PECAN-CRUSTED STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thick (a meat mallet or wooden spoon works well). Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle the goat cheese lengthwise on one half of each breast; then sprinkle with dill, orange zest and more salt and pepper. Fold in the short ends--like folding a burrito--then, starting on the half with cheese, roll up into a tight cylinder. Close the seams with toothpicks.
• Whisk the eggs in a wide, shallow dish. In a separate dish, combine the breadcrumbs and ground pecans. Sprinkle the stuffed chicken with salt and pepper. Dip in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumb mixture; shake off excess breading.
• Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and spray with coconut oil. Bake to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Remove the toothpicks. Serve garnished with dill sprigs.

PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare chicken breasts into cutlets, cutting into thirds and gently pounding to an even thickness of 1/2 inch (easier and cleaner if done between two layers of plastic wrap).
• Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice with a fork in a wide, shallow dish; set aside.
• Combine bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, zest, pecans, and seasonings in another wide shallow dish.
• Crust chicken breasts by dipping both sides of prepared chicken into egg white mixture. Then applying crumbs to both sides, patting them on as much as possible. Transfer to a cookie rack to air-dry on both sides for 20-30 minutes. (This will set crust so it will stay on chicken and crisp up nicely).
• Sauté chicken in oil in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on bottom. Turn carefully with a spatula and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. This should take about 8 more minutes. Don't overcook, you don't want it to dry out.

Steps:

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

CRISPY HERB-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, mix the milk and egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, rosemary and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Bread the cutlets by dredging them first in the seasoned flour, then dunking them in the egg/milk mixture and finally by pressing them into the herby breadcrumbs so they are completely coated. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the cutlets and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle over the flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.
