Honey Pecan Chicken Ingredients
Method
Honey Pecan Chicken Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Make the Honey Pecan Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine honey, olive oil, and water. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to form a slurry, then add it to the saucepan. Stir until the sauce thickens.
Bake the Chicken
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle any remaining honey sauce over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the pecans are golden.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with any leftover honey sauce.
