Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 egg, beaten to blend
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/3 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup brandy
1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Parsnip Gnocchi

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Finely grind flour, pecans, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg in processor. Transfer flour mixture to shallow bowl. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large ovenproof skillets over high heat. Dip chicken into beaten egg, then into flour mixture, coating completely. Add 3 pieces of chicken to each skillet and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer skillets to oven; bake until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté 2 minutes. Add brandy and bring to boil. Add Chicken Stock and boil until mixture is reduced to 1 cup, about 8 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Mix in parsley.
  3. Place chicken on work surface. Cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Arrange on plates. Pour sauce around chicken. Serve with Parsnip Gnocchi.
