Ingredients
- ⅓ cup shelled pistachios ground in your food processor (some chunks are ok)
- 8 boneless chicken thighs or 4 small chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon each: sea salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cooking spray oil
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the shelled pistachios to your food processor and blend until they're mostly ground - a few chunks are ok.
- Dry the chicken with paper towels and then season them with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil.
- Place the ground pistachios into a shallow bowl. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, bread the chicken with the ground pistachios.
- Move the breaded chicken to the baking dish. Press any remaining pistachios onto the tops of the chicken and then spray the chicken with cooking oil.
- Bake the chicken for 15-18 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the honey over the top and serve right away.
