Think crunchy, saucy, & mouthwatering… chicken thighs.😋
“Mom, what are we having for dinner?” my 12 year old asked.
“I’m trying a new recipe," I replied, grinning mysteriously.
Instantly her interest was piqued.
And of course, she tries to figure out what it is that I am making.
Peeking into the oven, she said, “Oh, it’s just chicken pieces.” 🍗
I smiled to myself & didn’t reply.
My friend had shared this amazing Pecan Crusted Chicken w/ a creamy sauce recipe with me the week before & I was excited to see what my family thought.
Thirty minutes later, we sat down to eat.
The chicken was passed and everyone grabbed their piece.
And then, I passed the sauce & said, “Here’s a new sauce recipe that you can dip your chicken into.”
We are a Huge sauce family or maybe it just comes with the age of my children?
Either way, everyone perked up and excitedly tried the sauce. One by one, they all exclaimed, “This is amazing!”
And then, “Mom, what did you put on the chicken?”👀
“Pecans.”
“What?!” Came the baffled but clearly impressed replies.
Yes, crushed pecans.
Recently, a farmer from Sedgwick came to us wondering if we would sell his friend’s pecans.
After tasting them, we were delighted to sell them in our Farm Store.
And now, I was having fun learning what different recipes I could use these buttery pecans in.
I know your family will enjoy this chicken recipe as well!
We have partnered with P&D Farmstead to bring you these fantastic pasture-raised chicken pieces.
The flavor is outstanding. I know you will be reaching for more just as my children did… until the platter was empty.
And then my 12 year old asked, “Why did you not make more?”🤷
I grinned.
Success was mine!
I now have another delicious chicken recipe to add to my collection!
You want to know a secret?
It was very, very simple.
If you’re new to cooking, try this recipe! Your family will be so impressed.
Best of all, you’ll feel fulfilled, knowing you were able to feed your family a yummy & creamy, plus healthy! chicken dinner.
