Pecan Crusted Chicken

This was our dinner for tonight was great. It was a recipe that I've never used before and will definitely be using again. It is from 101 things to do with Chicken. It turned out great! Enjoy!

Pecan Crusted Chicken
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. finely crushed pecans
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay each chicken breast with widest side down on a cutting board. With a large sharp knife parallel to the cutting surface, slice off a small portion of the chicken breast so that it is a uniform thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. Save the small removed portions of chicken for another use. Mix brown sugar, mustard and salt in a small bowl. Coat chicken pieces with mixture. Spread crushed pecans on a small plate and then roll coated chicken in pecans and press firmly. Place coated breasts in a 9x13 inch pan and bake for 40 minutes. let stand 5 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.
