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 saute 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.
	
	NOTES : The cooked chicken can be stored covered in the refrigerator.
	        Before serving, heat the chicken, wrapped in aluminum foil, at
	        350°F for 10 minutes.
