Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Grease a casserole dish.

  3. 3

    Place flour in a shallow bowl and press chicken strips into the flour; tap to remove excess flour.

  4. 4

    Dip floured chicken in the egg and again coat with flour.

  5. 5

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken strips until golden brown and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. 6

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, pecans, and Creole seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Place chicken strips into the prepared casserole dish; pour praline sauce over chicken and toss chicken to coat with sauce.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.
