  1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with foil and grease it lightly with butter.
  2. Melt the butter. Whisk the Dijon mustard, honey, and melted butter together in a small bowl. Brush this glaze over the chicken breasts, then season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Make breadcrumbs from the bread. Dry the basil leaves. Chop the pecans. Combine the breadcrumbs, basil, thyme, oregano, pecans, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Press each glazed breast into the mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared tray and bake for about 25 minutes, until the meat is cooked through with no pink remaining in the centre.
  5. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
