Ingredients

8 Boneless skinless chicken thighs None, or patted dry

4 Tb Coconut oil

3 Cups pecans finely chopped

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 egg lightly beaten

1/2 cup heavy cream for sauce

1 cup Spicy dijon mustard for sauce - no sugar added

1/2 tsp salt for sauce

2 Tb apple cider vinegar for sauce

2 Tb unsalted butter for sauce


Directions

To prep chicken: Heat oil in saute pan over med-high heat. While heating, combine pecans, salt and pepper in shallow bowl or plate. Dip chicken in the egg and coat with pecan mixture on all sides. Add chicken to saute pan and brown about 2-3 min per side. Transfer to glass baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. If pecans begin to brown too rapidly, cover with foil. If you are using pounded breasts or cutlets, cooking time is shortened. To prep sauce: Mix cream, mustard, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, 5-7 minutes. Add vinegar and butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Pour onto cooked chicken and serve, or reserve for dipping.
