Zesty Pecan-Crusted Chicken
The Mediterranean cuisine is quite popular; however, I can’t say that I’ve made a lot of it over the years. Every now and again I do and we always enjoy the dishes. My mom is a big fan the cuisine and has several cookbooks. Maybe I need to expand my horizons a little more often. Hmmm…
Anywho, one thing is certain, I love salads! It’s such a basic ingredient/dish that has so many possibilities. Right? This Zesty Pecan-Crusted Chicken is delicious on its own, but paired with the greens, grapes and a drizzle of the Garlic and Chili Sesame Oil the flavors of this dish are really enhanced.
