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!
