This chicken recipe has it all! It's got a crunchy coating of finely chopped pecans and breadcrumbs as well as a moist and tender interior thanks to a good soak in low-fat buttermilk. You'll also love the addition of Cajun seasoning that combines a lot of different tasty spices into one. For the best results, use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Heat up the oil and cook the chicken until the coating is golden and crunchy, then transfer it to the oven to cook through. Serve with mixed greens or blanched veggies alongside.
