Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons garlic-flavored or regular olive oil, divided
- 4 boneless, 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 lowfat sour cream
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the hot pan and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a small dry skillet and set over medium heat.
- Toast the nuts until golden brown, about 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning.
- 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.
- Process until smooth, adding water, as necessary, to create a thick paste.
- Serve the chicken with the pesto spooned over the top.
