We all (including the kids!) loved this recipe. I did modify my seasoning to just salt, pepper and garlic powder because we're not huge fans of curry. I will make this again for sure!

I thought we would really like this, but it just didn't do it for us. There were too many competing flavors. It was okay, but I wouldn't make it again.

We love pecans, so this recipe fits well into my collection. The honey mustard and curry add just that flavorful touch such that I would serve this at a small dinner party with no apologies for serving chicken thighs.

This was sooo good, and easy, I can't wait to make again. Only changes were putting the pecans through my mini Cuisinart food processor to make fine crumbs and added a little half-n-half to sauce just to lighten the flavor and consistancy. Thank you for recipe - it is wonderful!

Not as flavorful as I thought. Had to make a honey mustard sour cream sauce to pour on top of chicken to give it more flavor. Sorry.
