Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenderloins

Sunday, December 17, 2006

This was the weekend for holiday baking (more on that later) and when the madness died down, I realized that I had a cup of finely chopped pecans left over from the morning's activities. After checking the contents of my freezer, I decided on a baked chicken dish. The chicken tenderloins were given a liberal coating of mayo before they were dredged in a mixture of pecans and seasoned breadcrumbs. While the chicken was cooking, I whipped up a dipping sauce of spicy brown mustard, honey, and mayo (yes, I love mayo). All looked well, and I was feeling rather smug. Well, all was NOT well. As I started putting away the condiments, I dropped my newly purchased 32 oz of mayo on my kitchen floor. Thankfully, the jar was plastic. Unfortunately, it still shattered. Is it any wonder I eat out as frequently as I do?!?
