This oven roasted chicken recipe uses pounded chicken. Flatten chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet for the best results; never use the pointed end because it will tear the delicate chicken flesh. Flattened chicken breasts only take three or four minutes to cook through, which makes this mustard chicken recipe one of our speedier ones. You can serve this salad with something simple like a lettuce and orange salad with ground nuts sprinkled over the top or with something more hearty like mashed potatoes.

Ingredients -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 egg
¼ cup roasted macadamia nuts, pulverized
1 tablespoon butter
Olive oil
¼ cup milk
4 tablespoons Pomery mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 roasted red pepper, julienned
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch fresh spinach

Vegetable oil

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the flour, nuts, salt and pepper. Combine the egg, a tablespoon of mustard and milk and season with salt and pepper to make an egg dip.
Combine the rest of the mustard with the mayonnaise and a little water to make a mustard sauce.
Slice the chicken breasts into three horizontal slices and pound them slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Sauté the onion in 1-tablespoon olive oil for 5 minutes or until caramelized. Remove from the pan.
Flour the chicken pieces and dredge them in the egg dip, then flour again. Sauté for 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pan to a baking sheet and bake 3 or 4 minutes or until the juices are, clear.
Drain the excess oil from the sauté pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced garlic. Stir and cook until golden. Add the red pepper and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Season and transfer to the center of a serving plate.
Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan, melt it then add the onions and cook them for a minute.
