Praline Chicken
*Preparation Time: 15 minutes, serves 6, Serving size: 1/2 breast*

-6 chicken breasts, skinned and boneless
-2 tsp salt and pepper combined
-1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
-1/2 cup maple syrup
-2 Tbsp brown sugar
-1/3 cup water
-1/3 cup chopped pecans

*Season the chicken with the salt and pepper combination. Heat the oil in a hot skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides until done. Remove from heat and place on platter. Pour the syrup and brown sugar into the skillet with drippings. Mix well. Add water and pecans, and stir until heated. Let sauce reduce untl thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve hot

I liked this recipe, it is sweet but goes well with rice or whatever else you might like to serve it with. Hopefully this will give you a different idea but I imagine that most of you have so many recipes that this would just be another one you won't have time to try.
