TGIFRIDAY'S PECAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN SALAD
Don't let the lengthy directions fool you; this salad is not difficult to prepare. Pecan-crusted chicken, served sliced and chilled on salad greens, tossed with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, topped with mandarin oranges, sweet-glazed pecans, celery, dried cranberries, and Bleu cheese. Time does not include chill time. I borrowed a friend's cookbook entitled Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2 and wanted to put this recipe here so that I wouldn't lose it.

Steps:
- Make the pecan-crusted chicken first since it is served cold.
- Pound each chicken fillet to about 1/2-inch thick. You can do this easily by covering each chicken breast in plastic wrap, and pounding with a kitchen mallet.
- Combine 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, corn flake crumbs, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl.
- Combine milk with beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Dump the flour into another shallow bowl.
- Bread each chicken breast by coating each with flour.
- Dip the flour-dusted chicken into the egg mixture.
- Coat the chicken with a thick coating of the pecans and corn flake crumbs.
- Preheat 1/2 cup canola oil in a large skillet over medium/low heat.
- When the oil is hot, saute the chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Cool chicken on a rack or paper-towels.
- When you can handle the chicken, cover it and refrigerate it for at least two hours.
- As the chicken chills, you can make the balsamic vinaigrette by combining 1 cup canola oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp salt in a blender.
- Blend on low speed for just a few seconds, or until the dressing begins to thicken. Don't blend too long or your vinaigrette will get too thick, like mayonnaise.
- Pour vinaigrette into a small bowl and mix in minced garlic.
- Chill this until you're ready to use it.
- When you're ready to build your salad, toss lettuce and celery with about 3/4 cup of the balsamic vinaigrette.
- Arrange the lettuce on four plates, then sprinkle the cranberries over the lettuce (about 1/4 cup per serving).
- Combine the 3 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the mixture on each salad.
- Sprinkle about 1/2 can of drained mandarin orange segments over each salad, followed by about 2 tablespoons of crumbled bleu cheese.
- Slice each chicken fillet into thin strips. Arrange one sliced chicken fillet on top of each salad and serve.

PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN
Steps:
- For the ketchup: Stir together the ketchup, vinegar, sriracha, Worcestershire and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and spray it generously with cooking spray.
- Pulse the pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Add the panko and pulse until just combined. Pour into a wide, shallow bowl.
- Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk in the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess. Dip in the egg to coat and let the excess drip off. Add to the pecan panko mixture and turn to coat, lightly pressing so that the crumbs adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
- Spray the chicken generously with cooking spray and bake until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the spicy, tangy ketchup on the side.

Steps:

Drain tenders on paper towels.
- Combine maple syrup, barbecue sauce and orange juice in a bowl. Whisk in oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Combine romaine, radishes and scallions in a large salad bowl or on a serving platter. Toss with 3/4 of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Top salad with pecan crusted chicken tenders and drizzle remaining dressing over top.

PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN OVER FIELD GREENS WITH CARAMEL CITRUS VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- For the chicken:
- Preheat heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place chicken and lowfat buttermilk into a plastic bag and allow to sit for 15 minutes up to overnight.
- While chicken is marinating combine pecans with spices and mix well. Place mixture into a shallow dish. Remove chicken and allow excess buttermilk to drain. Coat both sides of the chicken pieces with the pecan/spice mixture.
- Heat a medium, 10-inch oven-proof saute pan on the stove. Using 1/2 teaspoon oil per piece, sear chicken for 1 minute on each side and then place entire pan into oven (if you do not have an oven proof saute pan simply transfer chicken to a baking sheet and proceed) for 10 to 15 minutes. When done and slightly cooled, slice. Note: chicken can be done a day ahead of time. Leftover chicken makes a great chicken salad.
- For the greens:
- Cut, wash and spin greens. Toss greens with tomatoes and carrot, set aside.
- For the vinaigrette:
- Combine the caramel sauce with water and citrus juices and whisk. While whisking, drizzle in olive oil, lime zest, if using, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- To Assemble:
- Place greens in a bowl and lightly toss with 1/2 of the dressing. Mound on 4 plates and top with chicken and remaining dressing. ENJOY!
