Pecan Crusted Chicken Breasts or Salmon (Updated)

4 Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 1/2 Cups of Panko Break Crumbs
3/4 Cup of chopped Pecans
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
2 TBL of Mayonaise

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Pound chicken breasts until they are about 1/2" thick
In a small bowl mix together syrup, mayonaise, salt together and put aside. In another bowl mix together pecans and panko bread crumbs.

Take each chicken breast and first dip into liquid mixture and then dip into panko/pecan mixture.

Spray a little bit of Pam over a cookie sheet. Lay all of the breaded chicken breasts in the cookie sheet pan and then spray the top of the chicken breasts with Pam as well.

Bake in oven for a total of about 20 minutes, turning once. Check to make sure the chicken is cooked.

*******NOTE: I used this recipe for Salmon and it was so good**** Followed the recipe, except, turned the salmon after about 4 minutes and then cooked again for another 5 minutes. I prefer my salmon a little undercooked so it is not well done and dry.

Serve with either Rice and/or Noodles.
