Number Of Ingredients 17

HONEY CREAM SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

------------------------------
PECAN CHICKEN:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup finely chopped pecan
1 salt and pepper to taste
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 olive oil for sautéing

Steps:

  • Honey Cream Sauce: Heat butter in medium saucepan; add shallots and cook over low heat 3-4 minutes or until tender, but not brown. Add orange juice and bourbon, increase heat, and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Add cream and reduce until slightly thickened. Add honey and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Pecan Chicken: Mix flour, thyme, pecans, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture. Heat a small amount of oil in a large sauté pan; add chicken and sauté until golden brown. Pour sauce onto each plate and place chicken breast in center. Serve additional sauce separately. Editor's Extra: If chicken breasts are thick and large, cover pan after sautéing for 10 minutes, then remove lid and sauté another 5 minutes or so.
