Bourbon Pecan Chicken
Ingredients
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
8 skinless, boneless chicken
breast halves
1/4 cup clarified butter, melted
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 2/3 tablespoons bourbon
whiskey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled
and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup sliced green onions
Directions to make Bourbon Pecan Chicken,
Stir together the pecans, bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of
clarified butter. Spread the mixture out on a plate. Press the chicken
breasts into the mixture to coat on both sides. Heat the remaining 2
tablespoons of clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the pan, and fry on both sides
until nicely browned and chicken meat is cooked through, about 10
minutes per side.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the Dijon mustard, brown
sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from the
burner, and whisk in the 3/4 cup of unsalted butter one piece at a
time. Do not return to the heat.
Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving plate. Pour the
sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with green onion.
