By Linda Larsen, About.com

Just a few ingredients make plain chicken breasts delicious and very special in this easy recipe.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup creamy honey mustard salad dressing
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 cup creamy honey mustard salad dressing
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • dash pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves

Preparation:

Pound each chicken breast as follows. Place between 2 pieces of waxed paper, boned side up and pound with rolling pin gently until about 1/4" thick.

Place flour, 2/3 cup salad dressing and pecans in three separate dishes. Coat chicken with flour, then dressing, then pecans, pressing to coat well.

Melt butter in heavy nonstick skillet and cook coated chicken 2-3 minutes on each side until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Watch carefully, as the pecans can burn easily! Remove chicken from skillet as it is cooked and cover to keep warm.

To drippings remaining in skillet, add 1/4 cup salad dressing, sour cream, pepper, and thyme and heat until mixture boils. Pour over chicken to serve. Serves 4
