PECAN CHICKEN STRIPS WITH BOURBON DIPPING SAUCE
I had this appetizer at a potluck last evening and thought they were great. Recipe is courtesy of the hostess, Diane. I think it will be easier to use the chicken tenderloins (tenders) from the grocery to make these and make a pretty presentation.

PECAN CHICKEN WITH BOURBON SAUCE
This is a restaurant recipe that I modified slightly. The bourbon sauce is wonderful, either pooled beneath the chicken and/or drizzled over the top. This recipe makes a lot of sauce. You can save some of the extra sauce for use later or drizzle the sauce over your veggies! Great pecan taste and crunch. Make sure you adjust your heat, while cooking the chicken, so the pecan coating does not burn. Don't skip the green onion to sprinkle over the finished product, it is part of the whole taste sensation! This recipe works for a weekly night dinner or even for company. Enjoy!
