There's a Giant Fly on My Plate Mom!

First let me say no bugs were harmed when making this dish! Ha ha kidding!

Yesterday being April Fool's I decided to put some plastic bugs on the kids dinner plates! I loved the look of confusion and then giggles on their faces!

Now on to the most incredible chicken dish in the world!

This is from yet another Southern Living Cookbook...1996. I can't believe how many recipes came from this year that will knock your socks off. You must find a copy and buy!

I had not made this dish in about 5 years and couldn't for the life of me remember why I put it on the back burner. I'm soooo glad I had a revelation BECAUSE LAST NIGHT'S DINNER ROCKED. Hubs even went in for 2nds and he's on a diet w/me too! :o)

Lemony Pecan Chicken

1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 cloves garlic
1 tbs dried basil
3 tbs lemon juice
1/3 peanut oil
salt
6 skinned and boned chicken breast halves

Garnishes lemon wedges and parsley

~Combine first 3 ingredients; reserve 2/3 cup of parsley mixture

~Combine remaining parsley mixture, garlic, basil, and lemon juice in blender; process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.

~Turn blender on high and gradually add oil in a slow steady stream. Process until blended.


~Arrange chicken in 13x9 baking dish; sprinkle w/salt. Pour mixture from blender over chicken; sprinkle w/reserved 2/3 cup parsley mixture.


~Bake at 350' for 30 mins or until chicken is done.



I always double or triple my recipes for my family so adjust accordingly.

(The pictures you see of mine are doubled!)

I would love to hear your reviews on this chicken dish! I can't wait to make it again next week. Even my picky 3rd grade daughter ate it! :o)
