Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
4 (6-oz.) skinned and boned chicken breasts
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
2 tbsp dijon mustard, divided
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup chicken broth

Directions:

Process pecans in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Combine ground pecans and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish; set aside.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together butter and 1 Tbsp. mustard in a bowl. Brush each chicken breast with mustard mixture; dredge in pecan mixture.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot; cook chicken 4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add whipping cream, broth, and remaining 1 Tbsp. mustard to drippings in pan; cook 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Serve sauce over chicken.
Equipment Tip: A mini-food processor is just the right size to grind the small amount of pecans in step 1.
