SOUTHERN STYLE SALAD
Black-eyed peas, candied bacon, pecan crusted chicken breast-YUM! A terrific summer meal. It looks a little involved, but is really very easy as you can prep everything else as the chicken cooks. Try a Southwestern/Southern fusion by substituting ingredients as you like ex: Black beans vs black-eyed peas, add sliced avocado, Jack vs cheddar, you decide :) We like our corn and beans or peas warmed a bit, and ate this as a slightly warm salad. Note: After making the recipe as directed, I wished I would have doubled the bacon as it really made the salad special.

Steps:
- Pecan-Crusted Chicken:.
- Combine 1 cup finely chopped pecans, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Coat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves with 2 tablespoons melted butter, then pecan mixture.
- Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Allow chicken to cool slightly.
- Slice Chicken on the diagonal into about 1/2 inch thick slices. (If the pecans fall off a bit when slicing, just sprinkle them over the top after arranging chicken slices on the platter).
- Candied Bacon:.
- In shallow dish, combine brown sugar with seasoned salt.
- Evenly coat bacon with brown sugar mixture.
- In shallow microwave-safe dish, arrange bacon. (I did put mine on paper towels and covered with a piece of paper toweling as well).
- Microwave at HIGH, turning once, 4-5 minutes or until crisp; crumble and set aside. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
- On large shallow serving platter, arrange greens.
- Evenly top with candied bacon and remaining ingredients, arranging in rows.
- Just before serving, drizzle with Dressing.
