Buttermilk Pecan Chicken

Submitted by LonghornMama

"I can't remember where I got this recipe, maybe Southern Living. I love it and it's very quick to prepare. The ground pecans and sesame seeds in the coating give the chicken a little crunch and great flavor."

This is great and will be a staple for Friday night dinners after a long week! I made it as directed and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks, LonghornMama! Made for Beverage Tag.

This chicken dish was very good, but I have some changes. The amount of butter to coat the chicken in is not nearly enough. I used almost all of it with one breast. For the other breasts I dotted butter on top once they were in the baking dish. This seemed to do the trick without using way too much butter. Also, my family thought it needed more seasoning. Next time I will experiment with garlic and more pepper. We did enjoy the different taste and texture of the pecans and sesame seeds. The cooking time was perfect and the breasts were juicy.

I did not have any luck with this recipe. The coating came out tasting like raw flour to me. Sorry!
