Rinse chicken and pat dry. Set aside. Place flour, pecans, lemon-pepper seasoning, and salt in shallow dish. Stir to combine and set aside.
Place honey, 1/3 cup water, rosemary, and pepper in small saucepan. Simmer, swirling sauce in pan occationally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Pour half of sauce into shallow dish and set aside to cool. Leave remaining sauce in saucepan and set aside for later use. Dip chicken in cooled sauce in shallow dish, then dip in reserved flour mixture to coat lightly on all sides.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook about 6 minutes on each side or until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
To serve, place chicken on warm serving platter. Reheat sauce remaining in saucepan and drizzle over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve with hot baking powder biscuits.
