Stuff each breast with one quarter of the mixture.

Step 4

Season with salt and pepper.

On a plate, combine the bread crumbs and pecan chips.

Step 6

Dip each piece of chicken into the egg.

Step 7

Then dredge in the bread crumb mixture.

Step 8

Heat a little oil in a large nonstick oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken on each side for 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer to the oven and bake for 16 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
