Pecan-Crusted Chicken Tenders

16 saltine crackers
1/4 cup pecans, ground
2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg white
Vegetable cooking spray
1 1/2 lb. chicken tenders (I just cut up boneless, skinless breasts into strips)
1/4 cu all-purpose flour

preheat oven to 425
Stir together crushed crackers and next 4 ingredients.
Whisk egg white just until foamy.
Place a wire rack coated with cooking spray in a 15x10 jelly roll pan.
Dredge chicken tenders in flour; dip in egg white, and dredge in saltine/pecan mixture. Lightly coat chicken on each side with cooking spray (I haven't done that); arrange chicken on wire rack.
Bake at 425 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown, turning once after 12 minutes.

These are great served with Chick-a fil-A sauce!!
