Place flour in a third. Trim and slice chicken breasts into about 18 strips. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into egg mixture, then into walnut mixture to coat. Transfer to a lightly buttered, rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and no longer pink inside. Serve with sauce. Makes 6 servings. Dipping Sauce: Stir the jellied cranberry sauce with the mustard, lemon juice and maple syrup in a small saucepan set over medium heat until smooth and glossy.
