Preparation time: 25 minutes. Serves 2.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, tenderized
3/4 cup Japanese bread crumbs (“Panko” in grocery stores. It is useful for many great seafood and chicken dishes.)
1/2 cup Pecan pieces, chopped in food processor
Capers to taste (optional)
2 eggs, beaten
Flour
Fresh Lemon Herb Butter (see below)

Instructions:

Tenderize chicken breasts and flatten slightly with a meat mallet so they are not too thick but "even" in thickness
Combine Panko bread crumbs and Pecan pieces in a shallow pan (like a pie pan). Put beaten eggs in another pie pan and the flour in a third pie pan.
Dip the chicken in the flour, then in the eggs and finally in the Pecan-Panko mix
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat
Add clarified butter (see recipe) and then the two breasts
Cook chicken on one side for 3-4 minutes (or until golden brown), turn over and cook until juices run clear

Chicken is done. Top each breast with lemon-herb butter!

To hold warm you can place the chicken into the sauce in the pan and allow the coating on the chicken to absorb all the lemon cream sauce flavorings so each bite is delicious.
