PECAN-CRUSTED STUFFED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thick (a meat mallet or wooden spoon works well). Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle the goat cheese lengthwise on one half of each breast; then sprinkle with dill, orange zest and more salt and pepper. Fold in the short ends--like folding a burrito--then, starting on the half with cheese, roll up into a tight cylinder. Close the seams with toothpicks.
- Whisk the eggs in a wide, shallow dish. In a separate dish, combine the breadcrumbs and ground pecans. Sprinkle the stuffed chicken with salt and pepper. Dip in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumb mixture; shake off excess breading.
- Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and spray with coconut oil. Bake to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Remove the toothpicks. Serve garnished with dill sprigs.
CHERRY PECAN STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Stuffing a chicken breast is easy to do and elevates basic chicken. This version is stuffed with a creamy herb goat cheese and sweet, tart dried cherries. It's encrusted with a pecan crust. The chicken turns out perfectly moist and tastes amazing with the creamy cherry pecan filling. This is easy enough to prepare for a family...

PECAN STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST
Growing up in a small town with a huge pecan tree in the back yard spawned all kinds of ways to use pecans. This is made with boneless breast about a 1/2 lb each. I've also used turkey for a change of taste. Just need to prep a little more stuffing as the breasts are bigger.

BAKED CHICKEN ON PECAN STUFFING
As we are now only two I find that a couple of chicken breasts is much better than a whole chicken and dealing with all the leftovers. Since I'm diabetic I use apple juice in place of apple jelly and it still tastes very good, also, I cook the veggie's in some chicken stock instead of butter..
