Pecan Crusted Chicken

Yummy this is a great recipe.  Its a little spicy so you may want to cut down on the pepper or just use black pepper.  This recipe is from the Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook:
1/4 C milk
1/4 C all-purpose flour
1/4 C finely chopped pecans
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp seasoning salt (orginal recipe use paprika)
1 1/2 tsp red and black pepper (original recipe uses just black pepper)
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2-3 tbsp olive or canola oil

Place milk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, pecans, sesame seeds, seasoning salt, red and black pepper;mix well.  Dip chicken in milk, then coat in flour mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides (be sure to use enough oil or coating will come off).  Transfer to a 15 x 10 in x 1 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 15-20 (i actually had to put mine in for 22 to get done) minutes or until no longer pink.
