-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lb Chicken breast
1 c Vegetable oil
3 tb Dijon mustard
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Black pepper
1/2 ts Paprika
1 c Finely ground pecans
1/2 c Yellow cornmeal

HEAT THE OVEN TO 400F. Pound the chicken breast halves
to an even thickness. Pour 1/2 cup of the oil into a
9-by-13-inch baking dish, and heat it in the hot oven
for 10 minutes. Combine the remaining oil with the
mustard, salt, pepper and paprika in a shallow bowl,
and mix well. Combine the pecans and cornmeal on a
sheet of wax paper. Dip the chicken pieces in the
seasoned oil, and then in the nut mixture. Remove the
pan from the oven, and place the chicken pieces in the
pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn with tongs, and
bake for an additional 15 minutes. Drain on paper
towels, and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
