How to Make Another Honey Pecan Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter. Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) vegetable seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of water until butter is melted and seasoning is combined.
  3. Add 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 cup stuffing crumbs, and 1/2 cup pecan pieces to the butter mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  6. Arrange 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Spoon half of the honey mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  8. Top each chicken breast with 1/2 cup of the pecan stuffing mixture.
  9. Wrap each chicken breast with 1 slice of bacon.
  10. Spoon the remaining honey mixture over the bacon.
  11. Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  12. Optional: Add 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries to the stuffing mixture for extra sweetness and texture.
