I've made this twice and I cut down on the cinnamon and liked it better. Overall - a nice chicken variation!

This is a cool recipe...it was really quick and easy to make. I substituted almonds for pecans, and it was just as yummy!

Yum, yum, yum! This was just great! I made it awhile ago and forgot about it, just came across the recipe again today while looking for something to do with boneless chicken breast (getting so bored with chicken). I remember having a little bit of a hard time getting the coating to stay on the chicken while cooking, it kind of falls of when you turn it. I think I may make it as chicken strips tonight and put a little more oil in the pan so I dont have to turn it as much. Be careful with your heat! Needs to be hot enough to fry, but low enough not to burn your pecans. Be sure to flatten the chicken or you'll need to cook too long and your pecans will burn. Will serve it tonight with a spinach salad and basmati rice.

This recipe was FANTASTIC! Simple and easy. My advice though is to make sure your chicken is not too thick because it cooks quickly.

Just made this dish last night… It rocked! Not only did it taste wonderful, but also the cinnamon in the mix made it smell delightful as it cooked. The only tip I have is to defiantly head the suggestion of not letting your pecans burn… and they will burn quick if you are not careful. I used chicken tenders rather than the full breast and turned them often to avoid burning. I’ll make this dish again but for now, I can’t wait until lunch to eat the leftovers (only possible because I made a lot)!!

My many thanks to Mary for her Pecan Crusted Chicken recipe. I cooked it for dinner tonight and my husband and I both loved it. I fried it in a covered frying pan, and it browned just right. The pecans stayed on the chicken and there was no burning. I will definitely be using this recipe again. I did eliminate the cinnamon and sugar.

I usually bake my boneless chicken breasts, and these were quicker and juicier, with a less ordinary flavor. Unfortunately, my kids were turned off by the nuts, but my husband and I enjoyed it.

Wasn't sure at first about the taste of the cinnamon and pecans with chicken, then liked it after a few more bites. Had to be very careful when cooking so as to not burn the pecans. Chicken was moist and liked the slight crunch of the nuts.

Won't make this again. Tasted too strongly of cinnamon and poultry seasoning. And while the pecans were crunchy, the rest of the breading was mushy.
