From Denny: We love pecans at our house and they are quite popular in Louisiana since we grow them here. One of my favorite recipes is to finely chop pecans and use them with flour as a coating to pan fry chicken. Here Claire's idea is to combine the pecans with panko crumbs for a lighter version than with flour.
