I thought this was really easy and tasty. I might add a squirt of sriracha to the mix next time and see what happens.

This dish was pretty good. I liked the flavor of the pecan crust, but I agree with other reviewers that it needed a bit more oomph–maybe some garlic powder and extra chili powder? I would also recommend pounding the chicken breasts flat. Overall, it’s a great recipe to build on. Thanks for sharing!

My husband and I both found the dish to be lacking in flavor, it needs a something extra. The dish was very easy to make though.

bland as it’s written. I whipped up a honey dijon sauce after tasting it to had a little dimension to the dish.

This was super easy to make but the taste just wasn’t there. Both my husband and I thought the recipe was lacking just a but on taste.
