Donna's Honey Mustard Chicken with Pecans

This recipe was developed by Donna Weihofen, Nutritionist at the University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics and friend of the Mustard Museum, to honor the Gold Medal winner in the World Wide Mustard Competition in 2002 -- a honey mustard from Findlay Market in Cincinnati. Honey mustard is combined with apricot preserves and balsamic vinegar to make a wonder caramelized sauce for chicken.

 

1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

4 chicken breast halves without skin

1 tablespoon canola oil

 

Sauce

1/3 cup honey mustard (Findlay Market Honey Mustard)

1/3 cup apricot preserves

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (Shop for Vinegar)

1/4 teaspoon curry powder

 

Topping

1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 4 small individual baking dishes or one 9x9 inch baking pan.

 

Combine flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in a plastic bag. Add chicken breasts and toss until well coated. In a large skillet, heat canola oil. Add chicken and cook until brown on both sides of each piece.

 

Remove from heat. Place one chicken breast in each individual baking dish or combine chicken in a larger baking dish. (Chicken does not have to be completely cooked at this point.)

 

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon sauce evenly over the chicken breasts. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce begins to brown and caramelize. Important: Check frequently to prevent sauce from burning. Remove from oven and top with pecans. Serve any remaining sauce at the table.

 

Note: The Sauce is also wonderful used as a glaze for cooked carrots.
