Okay, I need to help this user come up with an SEO-optimized description for their Mary's Pecan Crusted Chicken recipe. Let me break down what they're asking for.
First, the main goal is a short description, under 150 characters. That’s tight, so every word counts. They want it to be optimized for search engines, which means including relevant keywords that people might search for when looking for chicken recipes with pecans or breading.
The user mentioned "pecan crusted" and the dish is Mary's recipe, so they likely have a specific style or something unique about their version. I should make sure to include keywords like "PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN," maybe "golden brown exterior," which is a descriptive adjective that search engines might find useful.
I also need to highlight what makes this recipe special—flavor, texture, maybe even how it's crispy or juicy inside. Words like "flavorful" and "juicy" can attract more clicks. Including words like "gluten-free" if applicable could be a plus since that’s a common search term for healthy recipes.
Let me think about the structure: starting with something catchy to grab attention, then adding details about taste and texture, and ending with what sets it apart. Maybe something like "Crispy Pecan Crust Chicken Recipe – Tastes Like You're Cooking in a Panini Press! | Flaky and Juicy." That uses keywords and keeps within the limit.
I should double-check the character count to make sure it's under 150. Also, using strong adjectives can help improve SEO because they signal to search engines that this description is more relevant. Words like "flaky" and "juicy" convey quality without being too vague.
Including a phrase like "made with care" adds a human touch and makes the recipe sound special. I wonder if mentioning the panini press could be beneficial since it's a specific cooking tool, but maybe that's beyond the current scope unless the user is known for using particular appliances.
Alright, putting it all together: start with an attention-grabbing phrase, include keywords, describe the dish's qualities, and end with what makes it unique. I think this approach should work well for SEO while keeping the description concise and engaging.

"Crispy Pecan Crust Chicken Recipe – Tastes Like You're Cooking in a Panini Press! | Flaky and Juicy."
Okay, so I need to list all the ingredients for Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken with bullet points, using SEO-friendly formatting and including relevant keywords. Hmm, where do I start?
First, let me think about what goes into Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken. I know it's a chicken dish with pecan crust, so probably some form of chicken breast is the base. Then there are the ingredients for the crust: pecans, flour, garlic powder, etc.
Wait, but the user wants all the ingredients listed in bullet points. So I need to be thorough. Let me break it down step by step.
The main components would include:
1. Chicken breasts
2. Pecan crust mixture
3. Cooking methods (like baking)
4. Seasonings for the chicken and crust
But wait, they want all ingredients listed separately with keywords. So I need to think about each ingredient used in making the chicken and the crust.
For the chicken itself, besides the breast meat, there's probably some oil or butter for cooking, maybe some spices like salt and pepper on the chicken. For the pecan crust, besides pecans themselves, you'd use flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, maybe a bit of sugar or garlic.
Then, for the sauce that goes with it—balsamic glaze or something similar. Maybe some herbs like rosemary and thyme for flavor. Also, lemon wedges to squeeze for freshness.
Now, considering SEO-friendly formatting. I should use headings, but since it's bullet points, maybe just list each ingredient clearly. Including keywords related to the dish would help with searchability. Words like "Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken," "pecan crust chicken recipe," "how to make pecan chicken" might be good.
Wait, I should also think about the structure—using subheadings for different parts: chicken preparation, pecan crust, sauce, and optional extras if any.
But since it's bullet points without markdown, maybe just separate them with line breaks. Including all necessary ingredients like flour, garlic powder, ect.
I need to make sure each point is clear and concise, avoiding too much detail but covering everything needed for someone to replicate the dish.
Let me list them out:
- Chicken breasts (probably skinless, boneless)
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
- Salt and pepper on chicken
- Pecans (raw or roasted?) Probably raw for the crunch.
- Flour for breading? Wait, no—pecan crust is just the pecans mixed with other seasonings, not a breading. So maybe flour isn't part of it unless they're making a dry crust.
Wait, in some recipes I've seen, they mix flour and spices to coat the chicken before baking with pecans on top. Hmm, so that's possible.
So perhaps:
1. Chicken breasts
2. Cooking oil or butter
3. Salt (on chicken)
4. Black pepper (on chicken)
5. Pecans (for crust)
6. Flour (optional for coating)
7. Garlic powder
8. Onion powder
9. Paprika
10. Lemon wedges
11. Balsamic glaze or honey
12. Rosemary and thyme for seasoning
Also, optional things like celery seed or garlic for extra flavor.
Wait, I think I need to structure this into sections: chicken preparation, pecan crust, sauce, and maybe optional herbs.
But the user just wants a list with bullet points, so perhaps it's fine as one list. Including keywords naturally in each point would be good for SEO.
- Fresh herbs: rosemary, thyme, maybe celery seed and garlic
That should cover it. I need to make sure each point is clear and includes relevant keywords without being repetitive.
Wait, maybe mention the process steps too? Like, first coat chicken in flour, then coat in pecans. But since it's ingredients, not instructions, perhaps that's beyond what's needed.
I think this covers all necessary ingredients for Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken.

Certainly! Here is a well-organized and SEO-friendly list of ingredients for Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken:
### Chicken Preparation

Steps
<think>
Okay, so I need to create detailed steps for making Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken. Hmm, where do I start? Well, first off, I think I should figure out what the user is looking for here. They want a recipe that includes at least 500 characters and some SEO-friendly elements like keywords and readability structure.
Alright, so they probably want a clear, step-by-step guide. Maybe they’re planning to post this on a blog or website where search engines can crawl it easily. That means I need to include relevant keywords naturally within the text without stuffing them in awkwardly. Words like "Mary's Pecan Crust Chicken," "pecan crust chicken recipe," "how to make," etc., should be included.
Now, thinking about the structure. They mentioned SEO-friendly formatting, so maybe using headings and subheadings would help break up the content. Also, bullet points or lists can improve readability. I'll need to organize the steps logically from start to finish, making sure each part is clear.
Okay, let's outline the recipe. The base ingredients are usually flour, egg, milk, spices like salt and pepper, maybe paprika for smokiness. Then, the chicken parts: seasonings, maybe garlic powder or thyme. For the pecan crust, pecans, butter, brown sugar, maybe molasses, and some spices.
So step by step:
1. Marinate the chicken in the dry ingredients.
2. Prepare the pecan crust by mixing the flour with the wet stuff to make a dredge.
3. Dredge the chicken in the dry mixture.
4. Roll it in the pecan mixture.
5. Heat the oven for baking, maybe at 400F.
Wait, but how detailed should each step be? I think enough detail so that someone can follow without issues, but concise to keep it readable. Maybe mention things like pressing out excess flour and using a dredge, rolling in the pecans after.
I also need to make sure to include keywords naturally throughout. Like "bake" for the oven step, "seasoning mix" when talking about spices, etc. Oh, maybe add some tips at the end that people might find useful, like baking time or serving suggestions.
Hmm, should I mention any optional ingredients? Maybe an optional garlic herb butter on top for extra flavor. Also, perhaps a note on preparation time and whether it's ready in under an hour, which can be a selling point for quick meals.
Wait, but the user didn't specify if they want optional steps or just the standard recipe. I'll stick to the main method but keep it flexible with notes that people can add extra if they want.
Okay, putting it all together: start by marinating the chicken, then make the pecan crust mixture. Dredge and roll the chicken in the crust. Bake until done. Maybe include some tips like brushing with butter or adding garlic for more flavor options.
I think that's a solid plan. Now I'll structure this into clear sections with headings, bullet points where appropriate, and ensure keywords are sprinkled throughout naturally.
