Default Pecan-crusted chicken

Was searching forever for a way to make this without bread crumbs or flour, but came up with nothing. After a little experimenting tonight, all I can say is yummmmmmm!

4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 c pecans, finely ground (I just tossed them in the food processor)
1 egg
1/2 c grated parmesan (although I think I might reduce the amount next time)
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
To taste:
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Garlic powder
Basil, fresh or dried
Parsley, fresh or dried

Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, about 1/2 inch, then season with salt and black pepper. Beat egg, then in another bowl mix together pecans, parmesan, basil, and parsley. Preheat a nonstick skillet, add EVOO. While heating, begin coating chicken by first dipping it in the beaten egg, then pressing pecan mixture into chicken. Be sure the chicken is generously coated. Pan fry for about seven minutes on each side, until done. Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

The carb count on this (as far as I can see) is as follows:
Pecans: 3.91 net for entire recipe, around 1 gm per chicken breast
Parmesan: 2.03 net for entire recipe, around .5 gm per chicken breast
Total: 5.94 net for entire recipe, 1.5 per chicken breast

Hope you enjoy it!!
