It’s been awhile since we’ve shared a pecan recipe with you. Now that the weather is starting to feel more like fall I think it’s time to start making hot meals. Of course, in Texas, our mornings are about the only thing that is cool, but I still think it’s time to embrace something hot to eat none-the-less. After all, it seems that when we are accepting of the next seasonal change that it makes it a whole lot easier to make the transition. I'm taking a hint from the pecan trees, which are preparing for the fall weather too.
This pecan recipe is an easy casserole with chicken. You’ve probably either cooked or eaten some variation of this, but this is Millican Pecan Company’s version. I remember tasting this for the first time at a potluck meal after church one day when I was about twelve years old. It captured my taste buds back then and it’s still in my recipe book to this day. I’m not sure about you, but my family is going to be enjoying it this week!
