    Pecan Crusted Chicken


    2012 - 01.31

    Steve and I just finished eating lunch and it was delicious!! Pecan Crusted Chicken with Pineapple, 1/2 a sliced plum and a garden salad. It took me less than 5 minutes to prepare and it tasted like a gourmet meal!!! If you want to make this for yourself or impress some friends with your amazing cooking skills, this is the recipe to try!! It is officially one of my new favorite recipes

    - preheat oven at 350
    - Process a cup of pecan halves until they are small enough for baking
    - take Agave Nectar and Spicy Brown mustard and mix in a bowl
    -Make sure and pat down your chicken breasts so there is no excess water.
    - dip the chicken in the honey mustard sauce on both sides
    - then dip the chicken in the processed pecan mix on both sides
    - bake for 45 minutes
    - add a pineapple slice for extra flavor (optional)

    Enjoy!!!

    All I wanted were some pancakes this morning. So I figured, why not make the recipe in the paleo cook book I recently bought?! Necessary ingredients:
    1 cup of coconut milk, 3 eggs, 2 cups of almond meal, 1 cup of coconut flakes, 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries, 1 sliced banana, 3 tbl spoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix and prepare on a skillet just like regular pancakes!
