Boneless chicken breasts are covered in a pecan praline glaze. The Creole seasoning cuts back some of the sweetness. Dark Karo® syrup can be used in place of the maple syrup if that's what you have.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Grease a casserole dish.

Step 3

Place flour in a shallow bowl and press chicken strips into the flour; tap to remove excess flour.

Step 4

Dip floured chicken in the egg and again coat with flour.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken strips until golden brown and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, pecans, and Creole seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Place chicken strips into the prepared casserole dish; pour praline sauce over chicken and toss chicken to coat with sauce.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.
