directions

  • 1.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.
  • 2.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.
  • 3.Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving plate. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with green onion.

  1. Made this for Mardi Gras. It was my 1st time making clarified butter and I really liked the results. I should have crushed the pecans finer but I just sprinkled them back over the chicken after it was cooked. Very easy dish and tasted great too. I was glad the whisky flavor was so mild since I was serving it to my young kids.
     
  2. Lovely dish!! I didn't clarify the butter but it still turned out well. My husband who is not big on nuts or liquor or chicken loved it! My 16 mos old loved it as well and both of them had seconds. Thank you, GingerlyJ for sharing this recipe.

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot. I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own. As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters. My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there. Now I run my own catering Buisness. I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three. We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me. I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200. Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes.. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
