Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Chop pecans finely and mix with bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together egg and mustard until combined.

Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, coating well.

Press the coated chicken into the pecan mixture, ensuring an even layer.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
