Number Of Ingredients 21

Sauce:
1 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. chopped green onions or shallot
½ c. water
¾ cup apple juice
1 cup (half pint container) heavy cream
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
Chicken:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. oil
¾ cup flour
¾ cup pecans
1 tsp. thyme
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper

Steps:

  • For sauce: Melt butter and olive oil in medium saucepan over low heat. Add onions or shallot and stir until softened. Add apple juice and water.
  • Increase heat to high and boil until reduced to about ½ cup. Reduce heat to medium. Add the cream. Cook about 5 minutes (careful not to boil the cream over).
  • Add the salt, pepper honey and vinegar. Heat for a few more minutes, or until thickened a bit more. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, blend together flour, pecans, thyme, salt and pepper in a food processor. Dump pecan mixture onto a large plate. Pour milk into a medium sized bowl.
  • In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Dip each chicken breast one at a time into the milk and then the pecan mixture. Pat to help adhere to the chicken.
  • Cook chicken in prepared skillet, turning once until golden brown on both sides. Serve with apple cream sauce. Enjoy!
