If you're a lover of pistachio nuts, I bet you never guessed they
could be used in to dress up a chicken breast, but in this recipe,
that's exactly what they do. While this chicken dish looks fancy, it's
really pretty easy to prepare.
To make this dish you'll need:
4 boneless chicken breasts,
unsalted butter,
cayenne pepper,
chopped pistachio nuts,
grated parmesan cheese and
chopped green onion.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare 4 large pieces of foil that are long enough to hold one chicken breast. Place one chicken breast into each piece of foil. Brush the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of melted, unsalted butter. Sprinkle each breast with cayenne pepper. Wrap the foil completely around each chicken breast.
Place foil packets onto a cookie sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oven and open up the foil packets. Sprinkle the chopped pistachio nuts over the chicken. Leaving the foil open, return chicken packets to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear.
Remove chicken from the foil and place on dishes. Sprinkle each chicken breast with parmesan cheese and chopped green onion.
Makes 4 servings.
