A delightful and healthy chicken recipe with a crispy flaxseed coating and a tangy mustard dipping sauce.
Crack the egg into a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
Whisking the egg thoroughly ensures an even coating on the chicken.
Combine the ground flaxseed, chopped pecans, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a shallow dish.
Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure a consistent flavor in the coating.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Let any excess egg drip off before moving to the next step.
Press the chicken into the flaxseed mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Press firmly to ensure the coating adheres well to the chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when the chicken is added.
Place the coated chicken breasts into the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the chicken gently with paper towels to remove any remaining oil.
Mix the light sour cream and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create the dipping sauce.
Adjust the mustard quantity to taste for a tangier sauce.
Serve the crispy chicken with the dipping sauce on the side and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
