I'll get to the recipe in a minute, but I just wanted to give a shout-out to the cooking class Melissa and I took last night! I'll be posting the recipe I made another night, but I just wanted to say how interesting it was - felt totally over my head, and it tested a lot of my fears - cooking in very hot oil, sharp and large knives, and cooking in front of people, but it was fun and a nice new experience...maybe I'll even take another one:) Check out the site here - we took the Asian Dumpling class, but I think I'd like a dessert one;) You get to taste everyone's recipes and take a ton home!
So on to tonight's recipe! It was nice to make something new! I thought about the flavors all day and wondered how they would work. Turns out, they worked great! Husband gives it a 10:)
Maple Pecan Chicken from Betty Crocker!
What you'll need:
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breast pieces, cut in half
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup panko or regular breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
In a shallow dish mix together maple syrup and mayonnaise (I hate mayonnaise, I pretended it was butter while I stirred it in!)
In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs and pecans. Dip chicken into syrup mixture, then nut mixture, then place on foil. Spray tops of chicken with cooking spray as well.
Bake 25 minutes, or until cooked thru.
It was crunchy, sweet, and filling! Using what I had in our cabinets/freezer, I made some green beans, teriyaki noodles, and crescent rolls!
Chicken - 1.25 lb - $5.50
rolls - $2.00
pecans - $2.00
= $9.50! I had everything else, but if you didn't, add on about another $3-$4 - love it! So easy, too, so I could make our weekly grocery list while everything was cooking...and watch a rerun of The Office;)
What did you eat tonight?

You and I are on the same page when it comes to chicken and panko. I love the crunchy texture it gives to baked dishes. Regular bread crumbs soften up. Delicious and easy. Got to love that!

Mother Rimmy - I love how the panko crunches recipes up!
