Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup pistachios -- finely chopped
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. Combine the pistachios, bread crumbs and salt on a plate. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Dredge both sides of the chicken breasts in the mixture. 3. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and bake 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Makes 4 Serving Suggestions: Dirty rice: Saute onions, garlic, dried thyme and chopped scallion in olive oil. Add rice and cook, stirring, until the grains are coated. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is tender. Saute green beans, thin strips of red pepper and thinly sliced garlic until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
