Catalano's Chicken with Cilantro Pesto
Submitted by: by Michael Catalano
Recipe of the WeekEnjoy this delicious recipe of the week!

Category:entrees
Yields:N/A
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons garlic-flavored or regular olive oil, divided
4 boneless, Foster Farms skinless chicken breast halves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup sour cream
3 cloves garlic, peeled
DIRECTIONS:
1 Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2 Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
3 Place the chicken in the hot pan and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
4 Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a small dry skillet and set over medium heat.
5 Toast the nuts until golden brown, about 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning.
6 Transfer the pine nuts to a blender or food processor and add cilantro, sour cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
7 Process until smooth, adding water, as necessary to create a thick paste.
8 Serve the chicken with the pesto spooned over the top.
