Chicken with Pine Nuts

While visiting Seattle one summer, We ate at an upscale restaurant and I ordered a dish called Chicken and pine nuts in brown sause.. it was one of the best chicken dishes I've ever eaten.. and when I found this recipe, I was hoping it was the same one.. Well I think it is, if it's not exact, it's really close and it was so worth all the work to make it tonight.. Everyone enjoyed it..
