6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups ice water and ice
4 tsp. salt
2 T. milk
2 T. honey
2 whole eggs, beaten
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper, coarse ground fresh
¾ cup ground pecans
I. Prepare ice water bath, mixing water, ice and salt in container large enough to hold six chicken breasts.
II. Pound chicken breasts until thin and place them in the ice water for 30 minutes.
III. Oil large cookie sheet and set aside.
IV. Preheat oven to 350◦.
V. Prepare egg wash by mixing the milk, honey, eggs, salt and pepper.
VI. Dip a chicken breast in the egg wash and then in the pecans.
VII. Place chicken breast on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces of chicken.
VIII. Bake for 35 minutes.
Bourbon Sauce
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup dark brown sugar
2⅔ T. bourbon whiskey
2 T. soy sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup butter, cut in chunks
IX. Mix mustard, sugar, bourbon, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan.
X. Bring to a simmer over low heat.

I made this for a family dinner on Sunday. It was sensational. I put two recipes together because I wanted to bake, rather than fry, the chicken (ease of preparation). The sauce is amazing.
