Combine balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and mustard. Blend ingredients well.

Season with salt and pepper.
Pecan Chicken
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium sized bowl blend maple syrup and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Add chicken to bowl and mix until well coated.
Place pecans on a large baking sheet. Gently press both sides of chicken into nuts ensuring they stick.
Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Sauté chicken until golden brown. Approximately 5 minutes per side.
Place chicken in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 170°F as measured by a meat thermometer. Allow to rest and cool.
