PECAN STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST
Growing up in a small town with a huge pecan tree in the back yard spawned all kinds of ways to use pecans. This is made with boneless breast about a 1/2 lb each. I've also used turkey for a change of taste. Just need to prep a little more stuffing as the breasts are bigger.
