Thoroughly coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set on a foil-lined baking sheet. Combine breadcrumbs (or cereal), pecans, chili powder, and sea salt in a food processor; process until the pecans are finely chopped and the chili powder is mixed throughout, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish. Whisk egg white and water in a second shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat, then dredge in the pecan mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off excess. (Discard any remaining egg and pecan mixture.) Place the chicken on the prepared rack and thoroughly coat with cooking spray. Bake the chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile whisk mayonnaise, buttermilk (or milk), dill, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Serve the chicken with the dip. Enjoy!TipGrape-Nuts are a delicious, healthier substitute for regular breadcrumbs with far fewer additives + sodium.print TAGS: Chicken, Dinner, Heart Healthy, Kid-friendly, Low-carb, Low-Fat, Protein, SimpleShare this:Related Recipes Mango & Basil Shrimp Grilled Peach + Beef Steak Salad Vegan Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo Salmon Sushi Salad Mediterranean Quinoa Salad Roasted Pork Loin with Garlic + Rosemary Cornmeal Crusted Chicken Nuggets with Blackberry Mustard Scrumptious Veggie Burger
