Honey - Pecan Chicken

My apologies for not posting I was having an issue with uploading pictures, a call to Apple and we are all set... Since I am back on Weight Watchers I am trying to cook healthier and watch my points. I saw this recipe from Dotty's Weight Loss Zone, great Website to get recipes and see point values for things. 

While cooking this dish Anthony said what is all this what are you making, I said, "Honey - Pecan Chicken". He said that sounds good, well we sat down to eat and I was digging in right away, it was really moist and the Honey with the Pecans tasted so good!! Anthony also approved!! He liked it a lot and we will keep it in the recipe book!! Enjoy!

Our local Grocery store is called Publix, everyday they have a lady who cooks different food, called  "Apron's Simple Meals", they have all the food that you need to make that recipe right there next to the lady so it is quick and simple for you. I got this recipe from that, my soon to be mother in law told me that they made it and it was really good, they next day I went in and they were making it again...so here it is. I have made it twice so far and it is really good. I am making it this week again for a work pot luck lunch/division meeting.
