With its crispy pecan coating and creamy mustard sauce, this easy-to-prepare chicken can sure perk up a meal. Cayenne pepper puts a little zip into each bite, but I think my husband likes this dish just for the sauce. -Marjorie MacDonald Huntsville, Ontario

2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

2 tablespoons canola oil
mustard sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
