For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot red pepper sauce in the pecan mixture.
Feel free to substitute your favorite berries or add other fruits like mandarin oranges or sliced apples.
The glazed pecans can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
For a lighter option, use grilled chicken breasts instead of baking them.
If you don't have honey mustard dressing, a balsamic vinaigrette or a poppy seed dressing would also be delicious.
