Steps:
- Stir together the pecans, bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of clarified butter. Spread the mixture out on a plate. Press the chicken breasts into the mixture to coat on both sides. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the pan, and fry on both sides until nicely browned and chicken meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from the burner, and whisk in the 3/4 cup of unsalted butter one piece at a time. Do not return to the heat.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving plate. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with green onion.

PECAN CHICKEN WITH BOURBON SAUCE
This is a restaurant recipe that I modified slightly. The bourbon sauce is wonderful, either pooled beneath the chicken and/or drizzled over the top. This recipe makes a lot of sauce. You can save some of the extra sauce for use later or drizzle the sauce over your veggies! Great pecan taste and crunch. Make sure you adjust your heat, while cooking the chicken, so the pecan coating does not burn. Don't skip the green onion to sprinkle over the finished product, it is part of the whole taste sensation! This recipe works for a weekly night dinner or even for company. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix together the pecans and bread crumbs, on a plate.
- Beat the eggs and water in a pie plate.
- Pound the chicken breasts to thin them. This helps so you won't have to cook the coated chicken breasts too long. You want to avoid burning the pecan coating.
- Heat the 2 T. butter and 1 T. olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Dip the chicken breasts, both sides, into the eggs.
- Press the chicken breasts, both sides, into the pecan and bread crumb mixture, coating them evenly.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat (adjust as needed) until nicely browned and cooked through. Depending on the thickness and size of your chicken breasts, it could be anywhere from 5 to 10 minute per side.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together the dijon mustard, dark brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from the burner and whisk in the 3/4 cups of unsalted butter, a few pieces at a time. Do not return to the heat.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving platter and pour some of the sauce over. Sprinkle with green onions. Or you can plate them individually.
- You may choose to pool the sauce or drizzle or serve the sauce on the side. The choice is yours!

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into six serving pieces. Rinse and pat them dry, then lay them into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish in a single layer.
- In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the bourbon, thyme, cayenne, shallots and oil, then add about a half teaspoon of salt and generous grinds of fresh pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Let stand at room temperature for two hours.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake the chicken for 35 to 45 minutes, until it's cooked to your taste. It will not be really brown. Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand a few minutes to cool slightly.
- Drain the cooking juices into a small saucepan. Add the pecans (what they lose in crispness, they'll make up in flavor) and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half. Whisk in the heavy cream and continue cooking over high heat until the sauce is thickened.
- To serve, arrange the chicken on a platter or individual serving plates and spoon the sauce over.

PECAN CHICKEN STRIPS WITH BOURBON DIPPING SAUCE
I had this appetizer at a potluck last evening and thought they were great. Recipe is courtesy of the hostess, Diane. I think it will be easier to use the chicken tenderloins (tenders) from the grocery to make these and make a pretty presentation.

Heat mixture and add butter one piece at a time until each piece is incorporated, whisking entire time. 3. Mix together pecans and breadcrumbs. 4. Whisk together egg yolks and milk. 5.

Sautee chicken in melted butter on medium heat until chicken is done. 9. Serve chicken on bed of linguini, top with 1/4 cup of bourbon sauce.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork or knife. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- If you're using a cast iron skillet, make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. If you add too much chicken to the skillet, it will steam instead of sear.
- To make the sauce, use a whisk to stir the ingredients together in a small bowl. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a few minutes longer.
- Serve the Bourbon Pecan Chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
