Pecan Crusted Chicken

This chicken has the taste of Fall in it!  It smells yummy while it's cooking and tastes amazing!  I love that it's a great dinner that can be completed in under 30 minutes too!  Easy for a weeknight but good enough to serve to guests!  The only change I made from the original recipe is to sub cinnamon for nutmeg.
