Made this for Mardi Gras. It was my 1st time making clarified butter and I really liked the results. I should have crushed the pecans finer but I just sprinkled them back over the chicken after it was cooked. Very easy dish and tasted great too. I was glad the whisky flavor was so mild since I was serving it to my young kids.

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot.
I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own.
As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters.
My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there.
Now I run my own catering Buisness.
I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three.
We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me.
