ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into strips
  • 4 large cloves garlic, sliced
  • 3 1/2 tbsp sherry
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts

directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, & cook the chicken for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Mix the garlic & sherry into a skillet. Cook & stir until all the liquid has been reduced & the chicken is no longer pink & the juices run clear.
  2. Mix the pine nuts into the skillet, & cook for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, & mix in the basil, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, & pepper. Continue cooking until heated through.
