Ingredients Equipment Method

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

Equipment

  • 1 Baking dish
  • 1 food processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. If your chicken is not even or very thick in some spots, pound it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Generously salt and pepper each side of the chicken.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
