honey nut chicken

i'm always trying to find new ways to flavor chicken.i found this recipe and thought it sounded excellent. beside the flavor of honey and peanuts i love incorporating cereal into recipes. i dunno if that's white trash or not but whatever, it's delicious and usually crunchy! i recently bought 5 chicken breasts for $3 (what what!) and i made mole chicken with 2 of them so i had 3 leftover. i cut out the bones and sliced the breast into strips.

* 1/4 cup butter, melted
* 2 Tbsp. honey
* 1/2 cup finely chopped salted peanuts or other salted nuts
* 3/4 cup finely crushed cornflakes
* 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
* 1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation:
Combine butter and honey in shallow pan and mix well. Combine remaining ingredients in another pan. Dip boneless, skinless chicken breasts in butter mixture, then roll in crumb mixture to coat. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-24 minutes.

i didn't have any thyme so i used italian seasoning. when i first tried the chicken i thought they were tasty but a bit dry. i melted some butter and added some honey into that (just like the dip prior to battering the chicken) and dipped the cooked chicken in that. it worked out really well.
