16 saltines |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |

1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 large egg |
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into uniform strips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Mist a wire rack with cooking spray and place on top of a foil-lined broiler pan.
2. Combine saltines, pecans, salt and paprika in bowl of a food processor and pulse to finely grind and mix. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
3. Place flour in a second shallow bowl. Lightly beat together egg and 1 Tbsp. water in a third shallow bowl.
