Baked Honey Nut Chicken

SUBMITTED BY: Laura G      PHOTO BY: CatheeC

"A savory, buttery, nutty, baked chicken dish with a little sweetness of honey. Excellent for dinner parties. Everyone raves about it. Substitute any nut you prefer with equally good results."

What a great change for baked chicken. The nuts make it special and would definitely be great to serve to guests. At first I thought it might be too sweet with the honey. It turned out buttery with only the slightest bit of sweetness. I will also try this with pork chops.

Good recipe. However, it is great with a few change. Try marinating the chicken for an hour in the mixture beforehand. I also cooked it slower (at 325) to ensure it remained moist. Turned out beautifully.

I thought this recipe was great, I made it last night for dinner. I used Pecans and Macadamia nuts and it came out awesome. However, as a side note, this does come out sweet, so don't make this for someone who does not like sweet things. I personally enjoyed it.
