Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 whole skinned and boned chicken breasts, cut into four halves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5-6 ounces ground pecans
2 tablespoons safflower oil
2/3 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Between two pieces of waxed paper lightly flatten the chicken breasts with a meat pounder. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the mustard.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the butter and mustard mixture and heavily coat each with the ground pecans, patting them on.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a 12- to 14-inch skillet. Stir in the oil. When hot, saute as many pieces of the chicken as you can at one time without crowding them. Saute about 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a baking dish and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • When the chicken is sauteed discard the butter and oil. If any of the pecans remaining in the skillet have burned, discard them, too; otherwise spoon them over the chicken in the oven.
  • Stir the sour cream into the pan, scraping up any browned particles. Whisk in the remaining mustard, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce onto four plates and top with a chicken breast.

3/4 cup pecans

3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard (keens)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup light sour cream (I use no fat sour cream)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • In food processor, finely chop pecans, cornstarch, thyme, salt cayenne and dry mustard.
  • Whirl in parsley.
  • Transfer to shallow bowl;set aside.
  • In separate shallow bowl, beat egg.

  • Sauce: Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together sour cream, Dijon mustard, sugar and salt.
  • Serve with chicken.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken is cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • You can use any type of nuts you like in this recipe, but pecans are a classic choice.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook until thickened.
  • Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
