Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Pine nuts
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Place the pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Combine the ground pine nuts, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Set up a breading station by placing the flour in one shallow bowl, whisking the eggs in a second bowl, and using the pine nut mixture in the third.

Step 4

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the pine nut mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken bakes, prepare the garlic and white wine sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 9

Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly reduces.

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle the garlic and white wine sauce over the chicken.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
