Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Cooking Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating them in flour, egg, and pistachios. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the schnitzel from sticking to the pan.
- Serve the schnitzel with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Place the chopped pistachios in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the flour in a separate shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the beaten eggs in a third shallow dish.
5. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
6. Dip the chicken in the beaten eggs, then coat in the chopped pistachios, pressing the nuts onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
7. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the pistachio crust is crispy.
