These were good but I wanted the pecan crust a little crispier. Used a combo of b/s breasts and thighs. There was a lot of liquid in the panwhich prevented the chicken from getting crispy. I also had to cook mine a little longer (35 minutes). Will make again, may just have to adjust a few things first. Made for PRMR Holiday 2009.

Yum, yum, yum, in my tum, tum, tum. This dish was a hit at our house. The pecans were crispy and the slight sweetness of the glaze came through. Personally I cooked it a bit longer as our breasts were thick, but watch that the pecan/crumb topping doesn't burn. Made for PAC Spring 2009
