Pecan-Crusted Chicken Tenders Recipe | Freezer Friendly

Pecan Panko Crusted Chicken Tenders

This recipe was a hit at our household with the picky eaters! A few weeks ago, I picked up several packages of chicken breasts at nearly rock bottom price at $1.79/lb. I found a recipe from the Fix, Freeze, Feast cookbook that I modified for our family’s needs and what we had in the pantry. This is super simple, easy, and delicious according to my people!

Pecan Crusted Chicken Ingredient List

I’m loving these mini-freezer sessions I’ve been having to fill our freezer with healthy meals that my family will love. It is looking like we are going to have a crazy busy Spring and Summer schedule so I’m trying to get prepared.

I used my favorite appliance – my Ninja Prep to finely ground my pecans but you can use any food processor.

Freeze Flat to Maximize Storage Space

I picked up several packages of this chicken at the nearly rock bottom price. I also have an order for pick up in April for just $1.79/lb with Zaycon Chicken. Check out Zaycon to see if they are coming to a city near you! It’s a great price for bulk meat purchases!

    so the chicken is placed in two bags to be frozen? Is that to prevent freezer burn? Do u freeze the crumbs as well?

      Use two bags because it is a lot of chicken! :) I freeze the crumbs too! Makes it very easy. Also, if you think your family eats smaller portions, you might break up the bags even further.
