boneless, skinless
finely chopped
peeled and cubed
Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse pecans until finely chopped. Mix with breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Brush chicken thighs with mustard. Press each thigh into the pecan mixture, coating evenly.
Place coated thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, peel and cube sweet potatoes. Boil in a pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Drain sweet potatoes and mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and reduce until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the baked chicken thighs. Serve the chicken alongside the sweet potato mash.
