Pecan Crusted Chicken

October 21st, 2007 · No Comments

pecanchicken.jpgHere’s a lovely meal for you health nuts out there!

 Speaking of health nuts, pecans are a superfood in my book.  They have antioxidants, unsaturated fat, and a number of minerals.  Not to mention how tastey they are!

 Ok, so on to the meal.

You may substitute the vegetables to one of your liking, but please try not to stray from the ingredients used on the chicken.  This will change your exchange ratio & affect the exquisite flavor I worked so hard to master!

2 4oz Chicken Breasts - skin removed - 040
2 Tbsp Honey - 100
Dash of Garlic Powder
10 Crushed Pecans - 001
1 Tbsp Grapeseed Oil - 00.5
2 Tomatoes - .300
1 Cup Broccolli  .300
1 Cup Cauliflower .300
1/2 Cup Carrots .200
2 Slices of Lemon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 415 Degrees.
Sprinkle pecans over aluminum foil.
Squirt Lemon onto Chicken
Brush Grapeseed oil over chicken then brush honey into oil then toss on garlic powder
Wrap each chicken breast individually in aluminum foil
Place in oven for 22 minutes

Prep & wash your veggies white bringing 2 pots of water to a boil.  One is to hold the tomatoes.  The other is to steam the veggies, so be sure to use a lid.

12 minutes into cooking, boil tomatoes in water for 10 minutes.

18 minutes into the cooking, steam Broccolli, Cauliflower, and Carrots on the stovetop.

When finished, unwrap chicken and place on a plate, being sure not to drop any pecans.  Serve a nice mixture of vegetables on each plate & softly lay a tomato on the side.  That’s it!
