For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pecan mixture. Almond flour can be substituted for all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version. Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
