Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 c panko bread crumbs
1/3 c pine nuts, toasted and chopped
1/3 c grated parmesan cheese
2 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 c mayonnaise
1/4 c chopped fresh basil
4 (6 oz.) chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, trimmed

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine Panko, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
  • 2. Combine mayonnaise and basil in second bowl.
  • 3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and transfer to a 13x9" baking dish. Spread mayo mixture evenly over top of chicken breasts. Sprinkle the Panko mixture over mayo, pressing lightly to adhere.
