Directions
- Fill a large pot three-fourths full with water. Add in 1 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil and salt to taste and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in the linguine, stir and cook till al dente, about 11 min. Drain.
- While the water comes to a boil, place the pine nuts, garlic, mint, chives, dill, basil and chervil in the work bowl of a food processor. Turn the motor on and slowly add in the remaining 1/4 c. of extra virgin olive oil. Add in 1/4 tsp. of salt and 1/4 tsp. of pepper. Process till a smooth paste is formed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Add in the yogurt and mix well. Set the pesto aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the oil and heat to 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, place the flour in a bowl. In another bowl, lightly beat together the egg and water. Place the panko in a third bowl.
- Carefully lb. each chicken breast between 2 pcs of plastic wrap with the smooth side of a meat mallet till about 1/2-inch thick. Season both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper.
- Dip each breast in flour, then the egg mix, then the panko. Carefully place the chicken into the warm oil. Cook till golden, about 3 to 5 min on each side.
- To serve, mix about 1/2 c. of the herb pesto with the warm linguine. Place on a serving platter. Cut the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch slices with a sharp knife. Fan out on top of the linguine. Top the chicken with more of the herb pesto.
