Toasted Pecan Chicken Skillet (It’s Good!)

It’s already happened twice this week ….

We love dishes that are delicious and have a unique flavor. However, we don’t know what the secret ingredient is that makes them so tasty. We wait for everyone to finish before we explain the amazingness of the recipe. We’re sharing our toasted pecan chicken pan – it’s one of our favorites dishes that we’ve made in recent times!

Serves 4-6
30 minutes

INGREDIENTS :

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thinness

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

4. Lower heat to medium, then pour in heavy whipping cream, orange marmalade, mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powders, and salt and pepper. Mix in toasted pecans.
