Method
0 of 5 done- Heat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with foil and grease it lightly with butter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
