Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
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.
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.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly reduces.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle the garlic and white wine sauce over the chicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
