1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

1 cup chopped pecans
1 pinch white sugar

ground black pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 In a medium bowl, mix together flour, seasoning, cinnamon, pecans, sugar, and salt and pepper.
