Honey Mustard Pecan Chicken

This is a really yummy dish if you like nuts.

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme ( I didn't have any thyme and it still tastes really good)

4 Chicken Breasts (I bought the thin cut chicken breast which is 4 breasts cut in half.)

3/4 cup honey, divided

3/4 cup Dijon mustard, divided

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup finely chopped pecans 

-Combine the first 4 ingredients and sprinkle evenly over chicken.

-Mix together 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup mustard, and garlic.

-Poor mixture over chicken and refrigerate for 2 hours.
-Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Dredge chicken in pecans (or you can sprinkle them on if you don't want a lot of pecans).

-Place chicken on a lightly greased cookie sheet ( I lined my sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up).

-Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (for the thin cut chicken breasts I only had to cook them for about 15-20 mins.)

-Stir together the remaining 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup mustard and serve  sauce with chicken (I didn't do this b/c I thought it had plenty of flavor, but feel free).
