Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth.

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.

While the chicken is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan, boil, and then simmer until thickened.

Let the chicken rest, drizzle with the sauce, garnish with thyme, and serve warm.
