Honey Pecan Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Honey Pecan Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine honey, chopped pecans, and soy sauce. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm and well combined.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fried chicken on a bed of rice and drizzle the honey pecan sauce over the top. Enjoy!
