Ooh!

Sara's Cheesy Pecan Chicken

This recipe feeds 2 people, but can me modified to feed as many or as few people as you need it to.

Take two boneless skinless chicken breasts and use a meat mallet and pound them down fairly thin. This makes them cook faster, and helps the marinade penetrate better.

Coat the chicken in a spicy brown mustard, and season to taste. Let marinade in the fridge for 4-6 hours.

I cook my chicken on the stove-top. The trick is to LEAVE THE CHICKEN ALONE once you get it in the pan; this helps it to form a sort of crust, and ensures that you don't lose half the mustard in the pan. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, then remove from the skillet.

Dice about 6 green onions and a handful of pecans. You want the pecans to be pretty well ground up, so that they go all through the sauce. Put the onions and the pecans in the same skillet and let them toast for a few minutes. I take the skillet off the heat for this so that I don't burn the nuts. After the pecans become fragrant, add 2 wedges of Laughing Cow cheese. I use the garlic and herb flavor, but you could use whatever. Allow the cheese to warm slightly, and then add either water or chicken stock to reach the desired sauce consistency. Let your sauce reduce down for a few minutes, then pour over the chicken.

If I have company coming, or in the event that I have a *gasp* date, I sometimes add white wine to the sauce instead of water or chicken stock.

Everyone in my family adores this dish, and it really doesn't take much effort to look together; but it does look showy on a plate, so you can pretend it took you lots of time and effort.

Sounds great...I'm adding to my list

It's REALLY tasty, and it always impresses.

As a side note, I also use that same sauce as a base for broccoli soup. Sooo good.

[Holyteror]

Thanks for bumping this thread. I made the apple cider one tonight (except I didn't have cider so I used orange juice and added lots of stir fry veggies. It was good. My son is eating another bowl...he is 16 so he is picking out the veggies, but it beats his preference of PB&J or Mac-n-cheese.
