Pecan Chicken

This dish is a tasty blend of unique flavors. 



Pecan Chicken
  3 or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fresh or thawed
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
3 T. butter or you can use olive oil or mixture
2 T. orange marmalade
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Put each chicken breast in a gallon zip lock bag.  Seal and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound it flat.  Repeat with each piece. Season the chicken generously with the salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat the oil and/ or butter in a large skillet.  Cook the chicken over medium high heat until browned on both sides.  Remove to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium.  Pour in the cream, marmalade, mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powders and salt and pepper.  Mix in the pecans.
Cook, stirring often for 4-5 minutes.  Put the chicken back in the pan and cook for another 8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
