Ingredients
  • 1 cup pecans
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Preparation Instructions
  1. Preparation Instructions
  2. Preheat the oven to 325˙. Place the pecans on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silpat mat and drizzle with maple syrup and brown sugar, toss until completely coated.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside then turn the heat up 350˙.
  4. Next in an oven proof skillet (I like to use cast iron) brown the chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes. Set the chicken aside and add the balsamic, preserves and rosemary to the pan and simmer until reduced a little, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken back into the skillet, coat with the sauce and place the skillet in the oven, cover and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven. Remove chicken from skillet and slice into pieces.
  6. To place, arrange spinach, berries, chicken, candied pecans and feta on four plates and drizzle with some of the sauce.
  7. Enjoy!
