Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Whole chicken breasts, split
-=OR=-
4 -Half chicken breasts, split
- (skinless and boneless)
- slightly flattened
- and patted dry
Flour; seasoned with
Salt
Pepper; and
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 foams. Add the chicken
breasts and saute them over medium-high heat until the pecans are lightly
browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook the second side for an additional 2
minutes. Remove at once.
