Cajun Chicken Morsels

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Unbleached flour
1 1/3 cups	194g / 6.8oz	Chopped pecans - chopped medium fine
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dried oregano
3 teaspoons	15ml	Ground cumin
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried thyme
2/3 teaspoon	3.3ml	Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt - to taste
1 cup	198g / 7oz	Unsalted butter
11		Boned and skinned chicken breast halves - cut into 1" pieces

Recipe Instructions

Combine the flour, pecans, oregano, cumin, thyme, cayenne and salt to taste in a shallow dish. Melt 6 tbsp butter in a small saucepan.

Dip each chicken piece first in the butter, then in the flour mixture to coat well. Melt 3 tbsp of the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in batches, until pieces are browned on all sides and cooked through.

Remove pieces from the pan when done and keep warm. Add more of the butter as needed. The cooked chicken can be stored covered in the refrigerator.

Before serving, heat the chicken, wrapped in foil, at 350F for 10 minutes or heat in the microwave.

Serve the chicken morsels with toothpicks and your favorite mustard for dipping.
