Equipment

  • 1 Baking dish
  • 1 food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small to medium chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pistachios, processed into bread crumb like consistency I use the roasted & salted pieces from Trader Joes
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • salt & pepper
  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • If your chicken is not even or very thick in some spots, pound it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Generously salt and pepper each side of the chicken.
  • Take two shallow dishes. In one, whisk the 2 eggs. In the other, combine the pistachios and bread crumbs. If your pistachios are unsalted, mix in a good pinch of salt.
  • Grease a baking dish. Then take each chicken breast and coat first in egg, then dip into the pistachios. Really press it into the mix and get it nicely coated.
  • Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
