Ingredients

4

boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)

2

tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2

teaspoon salt

2

tablespoons maple-flavored syrup

1/2

cup pecan halves

Preparation

Between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper, flatten each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness.

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter with salt over medium heat. Cook chicken in butter 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, until brown.

Stir in maple syrup and pecans. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning chicken once and stirring pecans once or twice, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
