We've had this recipe twice in the last couple of weeks. Not only is it good when it's freshly cooked, but even better warmed up in the microwave or regular oven.

Crunchy Pecan Chicken

1 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. dried leaf basil, crumbled
lemon juice for dipping
4 boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to make flat and even in thickness
1 T. olive oil

In a large shallow dish, combine pecans, cheese, garlic salt, and basil.

Place lemon juice in another shallow dish. Dip chicken in juice, then coat with pecan mixture.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil until moderately hot. Add chicken; cook 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.

(My husband likes to top this with green Tabasco sauce.)
