Romance might be in the air, but the weather across most of the United States is deplorable. For a little bit of southern comfort food to lift your spirits, please consider today's recipe...
Nancy's Oven-Fried Pecan Chicken & Honey
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
You will need a cookie sheet with edges and a wire rack to set inside. Cover sheet with foil for easier clean-up.
1 1/2 Cups crushed stuffing mix or plain bread crumbs
3/4 Cup pecans, chopped
1/3 Cup all-purpose flour
6 boneless chicken breasts cut into tenders
Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 teaspoon salt
whites from 3 large eggs, lightly beaten in a bowl
honey
Spray wire rack with nonstick spray. Mix crumbs and pecans on a plate or piece of waxed paper. Spread flour on another plate or waxed paper. Dip chicken pieces in flour to coat, then into eggs mixture, then roll in pecan mixture to coat well. Place on rack. Spray both sides of chicken with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt. Bake 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven, turning once at 10 minutes. Chicken should be lightly browned, juicy, and no longer pink.
Turn off oven and drizzle top with honey. Let remain in oven another 2 minutes. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or fries.
Yes, you can make this without honey, but the sweetness is lovely. This meal has lots of protein from the chicken and nuts. Making food from scratch with no preservatives is a healthy alternative to store-bought.
Entertainment during this pandemic is also healthy to a person's well-being so remember to READ BOOKS.
To match the flavor of my recipe and for a quick, romantic, hot, and adventurous story, please consider Southern Fried Dragon.
This novella is a quick read packed with a dragon looking for a new life, an evil dragon bent on bringing her home, and a young soldier that saves her on the eve of the American Civil War. Buy Links are HERE
