- Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toast the pecans lightly before chopping them to bring out their natural oils and enhance their flavor.
- For a finer crumb texture, pulse the bread crumbs and pecans in a food processor together.
- If you prefer a citrusy kick, you can add a bit of lemon zest to the bread crumb mixture.
- Allow the breaded chicken to rest for about 10 minutes before frying to help the coating adhere better.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked without drying out.
