12 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chicken stock
salt & freshly ground black pepper
CILANTRO SAUCE
2 1/4 cups fresh cilantro, firmly packed
2 cups pine nuts (can use blanched almonds or a mix of the two)
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup soft butter
1 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs fettuccine
4 -6 tablespoons butter, for noodles
parmesan cheese, grated, for passing at the table

1
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Roll in flour and shake off the excess. In a heavy skillet, heat butter and brown lightly the breasts on both sides. Add the chicken stock, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
2
While chicken is simmering, prepare the Cilantro Sauce. In a food processor fitted with the steel blade add 2 cups of cilantro, the pine nuts (or almonds or the mix of both), Parmesan cheese and garlic and blend into a paste. Add softened butter and then slowly pour olive oil through the feed tube until mixture is the consistency of heavy cream. Set aside.
3
Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and place on a large platter. Toss with butter. Toss in the Cilantro Sauce, reserving some to use as a spread for the chicken.
4
Place the chicken on a separate platter and sprinkle the remaining fresh cilantro on top.
5
Serve the remaining Cilantro Sauce on the side. Pass grated Parmesan at the table.
