PECAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MAPLE-DIJON SAUCE
From San Francisco Chronicle (2/7/07).. The author writes "This is an ideal entree for entertaining. The chicken can be sauteed several hours ahead, leaving only the baking for last minute. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled; simply saute the chicken in batches." Note that the nutritional info takes into account the marinade, which you are not actually consuming.

Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your maple pecan chicken. Look for organic, free-range chicken breasts, and use pure maple syrup and butter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're searing the chicken breasts, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: Medium heat is the best way to cook chicken breasts. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly without drying out or burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to check if your chicken breasts are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy: The sauce for maple pecan chicken should be thick and creamy. If it's too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it up.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides: Maple pecan chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
