finely ground; do not overdo this step or the nuts will turn oily and
pasty.

them in a food processor until crumbed.

chicken with 1 teaspoon of mustard. Combine the pecans and bread crumbs and
press this mixture onto both sides of the chicken. In a 10-inch skillet,
heat the vegetable oil and sauté for 1 minute on each side. Transfer the
chicken to a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes or until done.
2.TO MAKE THE SWEET POTATO PUREE: While the chicken is cooking, boil the
sweet potatoes, in water to cover for about 20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them together with the butter and yogurt.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3.TO MAKE THE SALSA: Combine the banana with the red and yellow peppers,
cilantro, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
