How to Make Honey Pecan Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Finely crush 1 cup of pecans and 1 cup of cornflakes in a wax paper bag. Set aside.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  5. Dip each chicken breast (about 4, 6oz each) into the honey-soy mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Press the coated chicken into the pecan-cornflake mixture until evenly covered.
  7. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
