Pecan Chicken with Brandy Sauce
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 45 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 6 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brandy
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pecan Coating:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the finely chopped pecans and breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, then coat with the pecan and breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish.
2. Bake the Chicken:
- Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. 🍗🌟
3. Make the Brandy Sauce:
- While the chicken is baking, it’s time to prepare the luscious brandy sauce.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brandy, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion, and Dijon mustard. Stir everything together until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is well combined. 🍯🥃
4. Simmer and Serve:
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps all the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. 🕒⏳
- Pour the warm brandy sauce over the baked pecan chicken breasts just before serving. The sauce will soak into the crispy coating, adding a burst of flavor to every bite! 🌟🍴
5. Garnish and Enjoy!
- Sprinkle some extra chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch and added color.
- Serve your Pecan Chicken with Brandy Sauce hot and fresh out of the oven. 🍽️✨
