Place chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper and flatten with meat mallet until ¼-inch thick. Melt 1 tbsp. butter in small saute pan. Add garlic and minced onion; saute until tender. Add cream cheese, walnuts, salt and pepper. Saute about one minute until blended. Divide mixture, reserving half for later use.

Top with sauce, then with sauteed onions as a garnish. Serve with rice or pasta.
