Step 1

Combine the flour, pecans, oregano, cumin, thyme, cayenne and salt to taste in a shallow dish.

Step 2

I love chicken and fish coated with pecan meal, so knew I would love this! We cut our chicken into strips, and ate it immediately. Perfect with honey mustard.....think it would also be great with ranch or spicy ketchup! Thanks for sharing....made for your win in Football tag.
