Photo: Sesame-Pecan Chicken Strips Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup peach preserves
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- Kosher salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup vegetable or peanut oil
- 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
Directions
Whisk the mustard, peach preserves, thyme, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy. Mix the breadcrumbs, pecans, sesame seeds, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the chicken strips in the egg whites and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to help it adhere. Working in batches, cook the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the peach-mustard sauce.

These were absolutely delicious! My husband commented that were even better than the regular fried chicken I make.

YUM!!!! This dish was so easy to make and soooooo yummy!!! I love the idea of putting the chicken on a rack over a baking sheet in the oven to crisp as opposed to frying. My mother does this as well for chicken cutlets, and they are always amazing. I did drain them very well, and they were super crisp and not at all greasy. The dipping sauce is yummy. I had breading leftover but not a crazy amount..I didn't feel like too much went to waste. This would be good with any nuts...might try this again with almonds or pistachios. I made a cornbread casserole with creamed corn and cornbread mix as well as steamed broccoli with a squeeze of lemon juice to go along. Delicious! Thanks for an easy and scrumptious dish Food Network! :
