  • ½ cup loosely packed fresh Italian parsley leaves and tender stems

  • ½ tsp kosher salt

  • ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 pounds chicken breast tenders

  • To make the marinade: In a food processor, finely chop the walnuts and garlic. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the cilantro, parsley, salt, and pepper and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil to the create a smooth puree.
