Pistachio Crusted Chicken - An easy baked chicken recipe. Pistachios and breadcrumbs make a flavorful crunchy crust on juicy chicken breasts.

Pistachio Crusted Chicken Recipe

pistachios

bread crumbs

chicken breasts

honey mustard

Cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they turn into small crumbs. Pour the pistachios into a shallow dish. Add the panko and toss to combine.

Pat any excess moisture off of the chicken breasts using paper towels. Brush the honey mustard onto both sides of the chicken breasts (or you could rub it on if you don’t have a brush). One at a time, place a chicken breast into the dish with the pistachio mixture. Press the pistachios into the chicken until the chicken is well coated on all sides. Discard the extra pistachio mixture.

Place the chicken on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear (about 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts).

Easy dinner recipe.  Chicken breast coated in honey mustard, chopped pistachios, and seasoned panko breadcrumbs.

This pistachio crusted chicken is super crisp and juicy with a nutty and rich breading. Serve alongside a zucchini ribbon salad that has lots of fresh lemon and parmesan cheese. It's a match made in heaven!

Crispy Pistachio Chicken with Zucchini Ribbon Salad

boneless, (skinless chicken breasts)

breadcrumbs

parmesan cheese

garlic powder

kosher salt and pepper

eggs, (lightly beaten)

zucchini

lemon, (freshly squeezed)

garlic clove, (minced)

extra virgin olive oil

cheese, (for topping)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray and set aside.

Pound the chicken with a meat tenderizer until it is about ¼ to ½ inch in thickness. Season the chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. In a large bowl, combine the pistachios, breadcrumbs, garlic powder and parmesan cheese. Dip each piece of chicken in the beaten egg and then dredge it through the bread crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

Place the chicken pieces on the wire rack. Spray each with a mist of olive oil/grapeseed oil/coconut oil (a high-heat oil is best!). Bake the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, remove it from the oven, gently flip each piece and mist with spray, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes more.

Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Note: The key to crunchy chicken fingers and keeping the breading on the chicken is the wire rack AND the misting spray!

While the chicken bakes, make the zucchini ribbon salad! Use a vegetable peeler to slice ribbons from a zucchini lengthwise. Place them in a bowl.

Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, parmesan and olive oil with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle it over the zucchini ribbons and toss. Top with shaved parmesan. Serve with the crispy pistachio chicken!

Pistachio Chicken Recipe

Pure olive or avocado oil cooking spray

½ tsp fine sea salt

¼ tsp black pepper

oz dry roasted (salted pistachios (270 g, 2 cups))

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Grease two large baking sheets - set aside.

Place pistachios in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade, or in the container of a high-powered blender and process/blend (pulse) until coarse crumbs form (be careful not to turn them into a powder). Put the crushed pistachios in a shallow bowl.

Put chicken in a bowl and spray with cooking spray (or coat with olive oil). Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Place chicken pieces into the bowl with the pistachios and turn to coat.

Evenly place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheets, spray the tops with oil to seal the coating on.

*to prepare in advance: wrap the baking sheets with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake (up to 3 hours). I prefer to let them sit in the fridge for at least 30-60 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Baking time varies based on the thickness of the chicken.

Serve immediately.
