Ingredients
  • 4 (6 oz / 175 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) chopped almonds
  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) chopped pistachios (natural, not red ones)
  • 1/4 cup (50 ml) chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 TBSP (15 ml) chopped fresh thyme
  • 3 TBSPS (45 ml) Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 TBSP (15 ml) white wine vinegar (I've been known to use Balsamic with a touch of honey to soften it)
  • 1 TBSP (15 ml) olive oil
  • 2 TBSPS (25 ml) unsalted butter
  • MUSTARD SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) dry white wine
  • 1 TBSP (15 ml) chopped shallots
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
  • 1 TBSP (15 ml) grainy mustard
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP (15 ml) cold butter

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180C).
  2. Place chicken between two sheets of waxed paper and flatten with the bak of a pot, until uniform thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Combine almonds, pecans, and pistachios with parsley and thyme, on a plate.
  4. Combine mustard and vinegar and brush one side of chicken with the mixture. Set chicken, mustard side down, into nut mixture. Pat chicken to coat evenly. Brush other side of chicken with mustard mixture and turn chicken over in nut mixture, patting again. Shake off any excess coating. Place on waxed or parchment paper.
  5. Heat oil and butter in an ovenproof skillet on medium heat. When sizzling, add chicken breasts and fry until nuts are lightly browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. (Be careful to NOT burn the nuts.)
  6. Place skillet in preheated oven and bake for 7 - 10 minutes or until juices are clear.
  7. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine wine and shallots in a pot. Bring to boil and reduce by half. Stir in whipping cream and mustard and reduce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and reheat when needed. Before serving, whisk the lemon juice and butter into this sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve over hot chicken & nuts.
