Chicken On The Stove Top
Prep time:
15 minutesCooking time:
10 minutes“Pecans are a delicious but pricey ingredient. You can substitute less expensive unsalted dry-roasted peanuts and achieve a great flavor at a fraction of the cost. Grind or finely chop the nuts before using.”

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Use a paper plate for the crushed nuts, then just throw it away for a super-fast cleanup.
Great Pairings
Apple-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
For a less expensive side dish, use canned rather than fresh sweet potatoes. Since you won't have the potato skins, bake the potato-apple mixture in four individual ramekins or small soufflé dishes.
