Pecan-Crusted Chicken



Here's another no-fail, simple, yet YUMMY dish. My mouth is watering just typing it, guess that means it will be on my menu again very soon! Hope you enjoy.

1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. butter, melted

SAUCE:
1/4 c. Dijon mustard
1/4 c. dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 c. butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

Stir together pecans, bread crumbs and half of melted butter.
Spread mixture on a plate. Press chicken breasts into mixture to coat on both sides.
Heat remaining melted butter in large skillet over medium heat.
Place coated chicken in pan; Fry on both sides until nicely browned and chicken is cooked through.
In a small saucepan whisk together all sauce ingredients except butter until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from burner and whisk in butter a few pieces at a time. Do not return to the heat.
Place chicken on a serving platter or in a serving bowl and pour sauce over chicken.
