Ingredients:
2 lb chicken breast
1 cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 cup finely ground pecans
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
Instructions:
HEAT THE OVEN TO 400F. Pound the chicken breast halves to an even
thickness. Pour 1/2 cup of the oil into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish,
and heat it in the hot oven for 10 minutes. Combine the remaining oil
with the mustard, salt, pepper and paprika in a shallow bowl, and mix
well. Combine the pecans and cornmeal on a sheet of wax paper. Dip
the chicken pieces in the seasoned oil, and then in the nut mixture.
Remove the pan from the oven, and place the chicken pieces in the
pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn with tongs, and bake for an
additional 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
Serves 4 to 6.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"Poultry is for cookery what canvas is for painting, and the cap of Fortunatus for the charlatans. It is served to us boiled, roast, hot or cold, whole or in portions, with or without sauce, and always with equal success." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
