Marinate breasts in lemonade for one hour. Drain and reserve lemonade for sauce. Pat breasts dry and coat with mustard. Combine bread crumbs and nuts. Dip chicken breasts into beaten egg and then into bread crumb- nut mixture. Chill for 2 to 3 hours.

Pour all but 1½ Tbsp oil from pan. Stir in flour and cook about 1 minute. Add reserved lemonade and broth. Cook down rapidly to about ¾ cup. Add cream, stirring constantly, and strain into saucepan. Heat well and swirl in mustard. Season to taste. Pour over chicken and serve. Serves 4.
