Garlicky Chicken Breasts with Sun-Dried Tomato-Pine Nut Power Pack

Time: 20 minutes

4 12-ounce boneless chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 teaspoons vegetable oil

1. Rub chicken breasts all over with 2 tablespoons garlic, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining teaspoon garlic with sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, olive oil, basil and vinegar, and mix well. Set aside.
3. In a large saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken breasts, and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Turn the heat down to low, and cook until the breasts are translucent all the way through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
4. Remove chicken breasts from heat. Stir the tomato-pine nut mixture, spoon a portion over each chicken breast, and serve.

   Yield: 4 servings
