How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Preheat oven to 375 °. Coat a roasting pan with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl mix together mustard, honey and lemon juice. Dip chicken breasts in mixture to coat. Place in prepared pan.
In a small bowl mix together pecans, butter and breadcrumbs. Pat crumb mixture evenly on top of each breast.
