My favorite pecan chicken recipe

Pecan crusted chicken by Art Eats Bakery Http://www.arteatsbakery.com
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or 8 boneless, skinless thighs
1/4 cup flour
2/3 cup creamy honey mustard salad dressing
1-1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup creamy honey mustard salad dressing
2/3 cup sour cream
dash pepper
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
Preparation:
Pound each chicken breast or thigh as follows. Place between 2 pieces of waxed paper, boned side up and pound with rolling pin gently until about 1/4" thick.
Place flour, 2/3 cup salad dressing and pecans in three separate dishes. Coat chicken with flour, then dressing, then pecans, pressing to coat well.
Melt butter with olive oil in heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook coated chicken breasts 2-3 minutes on each side until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Watch carefully, as the pecans can burn easily! If you are using chicken thighs, cook over medium heat 4-5 minutes per side until cooked.
Remove chicken from skillet as it is cooked and cover to keep warm.
To drippings remaining in skillet, add 1/4 cup salad dressing, sour cream, pepper, and thyme and heat until mixture boils. Pour over chicken or return chiken to pan. Serves 4
