Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for organic, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it properly to avoid overcooking and drying it out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Toast the Pecans: Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the dish. Toast the pecans in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you can, use fresh basil, thyme, and parsley. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they can be more concentrated.
