  • 1/4  cup chopped pecans
  • 1  tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 2  tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing

  • 1  lb uncooked chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. 1Spread frozen raspberries on paper towel; let stand to thaw while making dressing and salad. In small bowl, mix dressing, chopped pecans, brown sugar, mayonnaise and syrup with wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate until serving time.
  2. 2Place finely crushed granola bars on paper plate or in pie plate. In shallow bowl or another pie plate, beat egg with fork. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. 3In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken to beaten egg; stir to coat. Dip each chicken strip lightly into crushed granola bars; add to skillet. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center and browned on all sides. Remove from skillet; drain on paper towels.
