Good evening my lovely chefs :) I hope your weekend was well and that you were able to enjoy some warm weather. I've been doing this blog for almost 2 months now and I love it! Not only does it help others, it helps me to not repeat the same dinner week after week! I hope it's doing the same for you. I'm enjoying seeing your success......and disasters :) I'm so proud of you guys for trying new things on your families and for taking the step to make a homemade meal; it speaks wonders about the amazing person you are. Keep up the good work kiddos!!
Now that it's getting warmer, I'm slipping back into my grilling-days :) This is not completely bad, but on some nights, using the grill means brats or burgers--not healthy at all :( But I love' em! So I'm going to try to limit those by forcing myself to blog recipes and make them!! So, without further ado--I give you my Pecan-Crusted Chicken. Enjoy :)
Pecan-Crusted Chicken w/ Mustard Sauce
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 c pecans, crushed
1 c bread crumbs
1 teas cayenne pepper
Salt and Pepper
2 eggs, beaten w/ a little water
1/2 - 1 c veg oil, for cooking
Mustard Sauce
2 T Stone-ground mustard (first time I've ever bought this stuff!)
1/4 c peach preserves
1 T cider vinegar
1/2 teas garlic, minced
Dash of salt
1/4 - 1/2 c Olive Oil
Heat veg oil in skillet over med-high heat. Meanwhile, mix pecans, crumbs, cayenne and s&p. Dredge chicken strips in egg mixture, then pecan mixture and fry in skillet w/ oil, 3-4 min per side. Drain on paper towels. Mix ingredients for sauce, adjusting sweetness w/ peach preserves as needed. I served this dish w/ chicken, sauce, couscous and some french bread. It was pretty good!! The kids both gobbled it up and my hubs loved the sauce! Happy dinners!!
After I made this one, my boyfriend wants to know if your husband is as stoked as he is about the recipes.
ReplyDeleteHa!! Funny. He's used to me cooking like this; I used to butcher meals when we first got married, but a LOT of Food NEtwork has greatly improved my skilz ;) He's most stoked b/c this blog makes it to where there aren't so many repeats--sweet!! Glad you guys are enjoying ;)
