Directions

Combine 1/2 cup fat free sour cream, juice from 1 lime, and 1 TBSP Chili Lime Hot Sauce. Put in a Large Ziploc bag with 1 pound chicken breasts, or 1 pound thinly sliced Chicken Breasts, or 1 pound chicken breast strips.

Seal bag and squish around chicken pieces until well coated. Leave in bag and chill for at least 1 hour.

Combine 1 cup finely chopped pecans with 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, one tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, ground thyme, chili powder, Kosher salt, and black pepper. Put in another Ziploc bag or on a plate.

Remove coated chicken breasts from bag (let some of the extra sour cream mixture drip off). Thoroughly coat on both sides with the pecan mixture.

Place in a large pan (line with aluminum foil for easy clean up) sprayed with olive oil spray. Spray tops of each chicken breast with olive oil spray.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. (Time may vary depending on whole chicken breasts, thinly sliced, or strips). Juices should run clear when done. If in doubt, use a meat thermometer.

Serving Size: Makes approximately 6 servings when using thinly sliced chicken breast or strips. About 3 servings if using whole breasts, but you can cut them in half (for thinner breasts) to make 6 servings.
