Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup olive oil , plus
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1/4 cup dijon mustard , plus
4 tbsp dijon mustard (and more to taste)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp finely chopped fresh sage leaves
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (without the tenderloin attached)
7 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup mustard, wine, garlic and sage in a bowl. Pour into a heavy Ziploc bag. Add chicken, turning to coat all sides. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, turning once.
To make sauce: Whisk maple syrup with 4 tablespoons Dijon. Taste and add 1 or 2 more teaspoons Dijon to taste. (Sauce may be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving.) Mix pecans, flour, salt and pepper on a plate. Remove chicken from marinade. Coat chicken on both sides with pecan mixture. If time permits, refrigerate at least 1 hour to help crumbs adhere.
In a large skillet, heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Place on greased, rimmed baking sheet. (Cooled breasts may be refrigerated covered for several hours.).
Preheat oven to 425°. Bake chicken until cooked through, about 12 minutes, if at room temperature; 16-18 minutes, if chilled. Transfer to plates, drizzle with maple-mustard sauce and pass the rest.
