Baked Pecan-Crusted Chicken Tenders

Tonight I wanted to try a healthier spin on pecan-crusted chicken tenders.  I wasn't really sure what I was doing, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

First, I finely chopped some pecans {I used my Zyliss hand chopper, but you could use a food processor or knife} and added some seasoned salt and garlic salt.

Then I seasoned the chicken tenders with salt and pepper and dipped them in Egg Beaters {just saving a few calories along the way}.

Next, I dredged them in the pecan/seasoning mixture.

I placed them on a wire baking rack {sprayed with cooking spray} and baked them at 375 for about 20 minutes....it was more like 23 minutes, if I'm being exact.

While they were in the oven, I mixed up a quick dipping sauce.  Nothing fancy....just fat free plain Greek yogurt with a couple spoonfuls each of agave and mustard.

The perfect complement to these delicious little chicken tenders....{Yum!}

I served them with sauteed zucchini and a simple salad for an easy, family-pleasing Sunday dinner.  

My husband and kids loved it!  Even my pickiest eater tried it and that's HUGE for him....he rarely tries anything new.  I'll definitely be making this again!
