Pecan Crusted Chicken Strips - 21 Day Fix

 

  Who doesn't love some fried chicken?!?!? But with all the fat and calories it's not something we can eat all the time! Especially since I've been eating clean those types of foods, even on my once a  week splurge, leave me wishing I had made a better choice. But the GOOD NEWS is that you dont have to completely give that up!! Heck NO!!! I'm all about cleaning things up and keeping those old comfort foods in the regular rotation!! Enjoy!!

2.      Slice chicken breast into 6 strips

3.      Combine Dijon mustard and honey in a shallow dish

4.      Coat each chicken strip in honey-mustard mixture, then roll in pecan-breadcrumb mixture
