BOURBON PECAN CHICKEN

by Rebecca June 17, 2021

PREP TIME: 10 MINS | COOK TIME: 16 MINS | SERVINGS: 4

You will be tempted to lick your plate clean with this mouthwatering Bourbon Pecan Chicken. An easy and quick dish to throw together with a fantastic combination of flavours from bourbon, pecans, Dijon mustard, and honey.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c. finely chopped pecans

1/2 c. bread crumbs

2 tbsp honey, divided

2 tbsp Dijon mustard, divided

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally into 2 thinner pieces

salt and pepper

1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil

1 tbsp butter

3 tbsp bourbon

1/4 c. heavy cream

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/3 c. chopped pecans

1 tbsp butter

HOW TO MAKE BOURBON PECAN CHICKEN

Step 1: In a large ziptop bag, add the finely chopped pecans and bread crumbs. Shake well to combine and set aside.

Step 2: Whisk a tbsp honey with a tbsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

Step 3: With salt and pepper, season the chicken breasts, then coat both sides with the honey/Dijon mixture.

Step 4: To the pecan/bread crumb mixture, add the chicken a piece at a time and shake until well coated.

Step 5: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees.

Step 6: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the pan and cook both sides until golden brown. To a casserole dish, transfer the cooked chicken and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 7: Clean the pan before adding in the bourbon along with the 1 tbsp of each honey and Dijon mustard, heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and pecans. Let it simmer for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then take away from the heat. Add in the butter and stir until melted. To taste, season the sauce with salt and pepper.

NOTE:

I suggest slicing the chicken horizontally into 2 thinner pieces if using large chicken breasts. Or you can leave the chicken breasts uncut and just cook them longer.
