Recipe: Honey Garlic Pecan Chicken

By Stacey LittleSouthern Bite

When we’re short on time but I still want to put a delicious home-cooked meal on the table, I often turn to recipes that combine a simple pan-seared chicken breast with a flavorful sauce. This Honey Garlic Pecan Chicken is a perfect example. A thin chicken breast is seasoned and lightly dusted with flour, seared in olive oil, and then the sauce comes together by toasting some pecans and adding some butter, fresh garlic and honey. This is great served alongside some jasmine rice and a fresh vegetable side like broccoli or green beans. And the sauce is great served over the rice, too!

Now, lots of folks avoid using boneless skinless chicken breasts because they dry out so easily. The trick is to make sure not to overcook them. The only way to ensure that doesn’t happen is to equip yourself with an instant read thermometer. Doing so will allow you to get that chicken right to 165 degrees without it drying out. The thermometers are relatively affordable and can be used for so many things.
