Ingredients

• 1 cup pecans, toasted
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tsp dried basil

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a food processor, grind the pecans into fine crumbs. Transfer to a wide, shallow bowl and stir in the bread crumbs and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Rub each breast with honey mustard, then coat with the pecan mixture. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Bake until juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes.
