Stuffed Pine Nut Crusted Chicken Breasts Recipe
"I prefer to use a chicken breast with its skin, wings, rib bones, and tenders attached. A skin-on chicken will tend to cook up more moist with more flavor. However, this recipe will adapt to a boneless, skinless chicken breast. Have your butcher cut the chicken the way you prefer."
