For an even more intense pecan flavor, lightly toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet before mixing them with the flour and spices. Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness ensures they cook quickly and evenly. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
