4 -Half chicken breasts, split

- slightly flattened

1/4 ts Crumbled dried tarragon
- (for dredging)
3 tb Dijon mustard
1/2 c Finely chopped pecans
2 tb Unsalted butter
1 ts Vegetable oil

LIGHTLY DREDGE THE CHICKEN in the seasoned flour, patting to remove
any excess. Brush 1 side of each breast generously with mustard. Pat
the pecans into the mustard. Turn and repeat on the other side. Place
the chicken in a flat dish, cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. In
a large heavy skillet, heat the butter and oil just until the butter

until the pecans are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook
the second side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove at once.
