Ingredients
Chicken
- Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 teaspoons Cajun spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons pecan meal or 2 tablespoons pecan halves, finely ground
- 1 egg white
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
Apricot Sauce
- 1 cup canned apricot nectar
- 2 tablespoons spicy mustard

Instructions
- Chicken: Slice chicken into 1/2 inch wide strips. Set aside.
- Beat the egg white lightly in a wide, shallow dish.

strip in the egg white, then roll lightly in the pecan-spice mixture. Set on wax paper. If not cooking immediately, refrigerate, uncovered.

to blend and bring to boil over medium heat.
