Made this today from the Comfort Food Cookbook. I serve chicken a lot and this is really good. I made up all of the pecan flour mixture, but only used enough for 2 chicken breasts. Will save the rest to use on future days.

My family adored this recipe. Just don't overcook, and it will be super moist and juicy!!

This is an amazing dish. I have nothing to say against it. It was so tasty it's hard to believe. I felt like it's something I would have been delighted to receive at a restaurant!
