Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove breasts from pan and set aside.

juices, salt, and pepper and reduce again by two-thirds. Discard garlic.

on one-half of paper. Add pine nuts and spoon sauce over breasts. Fold
parchment paper over the top of the chicken. Crimp the edges together until
you have an air-tight seal. Place in a 450-degree oven for 12 minutes.
Remove promptly and serve, ensuring you distribute the sauce and pine nuts
equally.

CHEF'S NOTE: Parchment paper is available at gourmet stores and some
hardware stores.
