Maple Pecan Chicken

I was looking through my cookbooks for an easy, new chicken recipe. I came across this one. It sounded interesting, and at first I was unsure about it, but I gave it a shot. It doesn't have many ingredients, is easy, and delicious.

2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 C maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 C panko bread crumbs (I used normal bread crumbs)
1/2 C very-finely chopped pecans
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can pound to 1/2 inch thick so it cooks faster, otherwise it will be fine but will take longer)

Heat oven to 400. Mix mayonnaise, maple syrup, and salt in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix bread crumbs and pecans. Dip chicken into syrup mixture, then into bread crumbs. Place on a greased baking sheet. Spray top of chicken with cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until done and coating is brown. Makes 4 servings.
