It's also my favorite comfort food meal.
Pistachio Chicken originated from my mother when she was starting the South Beach Diet. Here is the Cook Book recipe. In our family we always like to tweak recipes, so mine always has a little kick of cayenne! Feel free to add any additional spices to please your guests.
Grab an 8oz bag of Pistachios, you will only need about half a bag. Remove shells and place in a food chopper. If you don't have a food chopper that can handle pistachios, simply put the pistachios in a plastic bag and use a meat tenderizer or hammer to finely chop. Warm a skillet on medium heat with EVOO. Spread out the finely chopped pistachios on a plate and add salt and pepper (any cayenne). Like Chicken Parmesan bread your Chicken Breasts with the Pistachio mixture and add to your skillet. Cook until pistachios are brown and chicken is cooked throughly.
The Zucchini, Squash and Onion side dish came from a friend who put these ingrendients into a foil pack and steamed them on the grill. When you have an apartment that does not allow a grill, a large skillet or pan will work for sautéing. Sometimes I add fresh garlic and grill the onions and garlic first to give them time to caramelize.
Serve together on a plate and enjoy!!!
