Another Honey Pecan Chicken

I got this from a magazine, but cannot remember which. I consider this a company dish. I made a double batch of the pecans. After mixing in the 1/2 cup pecans the recipe calls for, I gave it a taste test. I sprinkled a little more in. Guess that's a preferance for the individual cook to decide. I also made a double batch of the orange juice-honey mixture so I would make sure I had enough. I also sprayed the bake dish with vegetable cooking spray. I didn't check the prep time, so am guessing. I am thinking that adding maybe 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries would be good also. Toni in Colorado
