Cajun Chicken Morsels
1 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 cup pecans -- chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt -- to taste
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 whole chicken breasts without skin -- boned (cut into 1" pieces)
Combine the flour, pecans, oregano, cumin, thyme, cayenne, and salt to taste in
a shallow dish. Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan. Dip each
chicken piece first in the butter, then in the flour mixture to coat well. Melt
3 tablespoons of the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add
half the chicken pieces and sauté until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 3 tablespoons of
butter and the chicken. Serve the chicken morsels with toothpicks and your
favorite mustard for dipping.
