Directions:

Lemon Chicken with Ginger and Pine Nuts
Cooking Light, Jan/Feb 2008
Tbs pine nuts
Tbs minced fresh parsley
/8 tsp saffron threads, crushed
Clove garlic, minced
/4 tsp kosher salt (I only used the 1/4 tsp for the pine nut mixture)
(6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Tbs olive oil
/2 cups finely chopped onion (about one medium)
Tbs finely chopped prosciutto (about 1 ounce)
/8 tsp crushed red pepper
/3 cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
/3 cup dry white wine
Tbs fresh lemon juice
/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
/2 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Bay leaf
Combine first 4 ingredients in a mini food chopper; add 1/4 tsp salt. Process until mixture forms a paste. Sprinkle remaining salt evenly over chicken.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add onion, prosciutto, and red pepper to pan; saut 2 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in broth and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Return chicken to pan. Stir in pine nut mixture; cook 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Discard bay leaf. Yield 6 servings (Serving size: 1 chicken breast and about 2 tbs of pine nut mixture).
Note: I added the pine nut mixture before adding back in the chicken so I'd have room to stir and then replaced the lid since the instructions didn't really specify.
