Pecan Crusted Chicken Nuggets

Now I love me some chicken nuggets, but they aren't liking my waistline as much as I would like, so I created these delicious little nuggets to eat as a dinner or add into salads and wraps.  Not only are they delicious but they have healthy fats which is a bonus!

6 skinless, boneless Chicken Thighs
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp thyme
1/4 Cup eggbeaters or 1.5 egg (1 whole egg and 1 egg white)
salt and pepper to taste

To start, chop you chicken into bite size chunks.
Mix pecans, bread crumbs, paprika, thyme and however much salt and pepper you like. (I don't add any as bread crumbs are salty and wanna keep my sodium down! :) )
Put eggbeaters in a separate bowl or whip egg and egg white in a separate bowl...this is your medium to stick the crust to your chicken!
Dip chicken chunks in egg wash, then into pecan crust mix and place on a baking sheet that is lightly sprayed with non-stick spray!
Bake at 350C for about 30 minutes, or until Chicken is cooked through and has a nice brown crust.
Serves 3 or in my family...2 adults and 2 kids! Enjoy!

These are a hit! My kids love them and well...so do I!! Try them and see what you think!
*warning..contain nuts!!! :)
