I've used this recipe for years and added the pesto at the request of a chef friend. He is right at times. Ingredients:
4 skinless chicken breast halves |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
3 tablespoons chicken stock |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 tablespoons salt |
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1/4 cup gouda cheese, cubed |
1/4 cup cilantro |
2 tablespoons pine nuts |
1 garlic clove |
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 dash salt |
1 dash pepper |
Directions:
1. SAUCE: Add first 6 items to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thick and remove from heat.
2. Stir in Gouda.
3. PESTO: Add all ingredients except oil, salt& pepper to a food processor and blend until coarsely chopped.
4. Add oil, salt and pepper and blend again just until mixed.
5. Grill chicken until cooked through.
6. Pour sauce over chicken and spoon pesto on top.
