Pecan Crust Baked Chicken Tenders

These Pecan-Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders are super crispy and full of toasty, nutty flavor. They're so simple and easy to make and taste just as good as fried chicken tenders - but are so much healthier! Serve them with my homemade basil dip for a perfect chicken dinner!

Notes

  • Don't like pecans? Use almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts for your crunch coating.
  • When it comes to flavor, you can mix and match your favorite spices here and make a different version of these chicken tenders every time.
  • If you have 5 mins and some fresh basil, then check this Fettuccine with Pistachio Pesto Sauce for the basil pistachio pesto, or this Protein Packed Nut Free Hemp Bail pesto.
