Categories     Chicken     Mustard     Bake     Dinner     Pistachio     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup shelled raw pistachios (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 5-ounce skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons (about) vegetable oil
Mustard-Cream Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Finely grind nuts in processor. Add panko and blend, using on/off turns. Transfer to shallow baking dish. Mix mustard, basil, dill and rosemary in medium bowl. Spread mustard mixture over both sides of each chicken breast. Dip chicken breasts into nut mixture, coating completely. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 chicken breasts to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to baking sheet. Remove any leftover nuts from skillet. Repeat with remaining 2 chicken breasts, adding more oil to skillet as necessary. Bake chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Spoon Mustard-Cream Sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pistachio balls remain intact while frying, make sure the chicken mixture is well-blended and combined thoroughly.
  • If you don't have a meat grinder, you can finely chop the chicken breasts in a food processor or by hand.
  • For a smoother texture, remove the skins from the pistachios before chopping them.
  • If you prefer a crispier coating, double-coat the pistachio balls in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • To save time, use store-bought breadcrumbs instead of making your own.
  • Serve the pistachio balls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Chicken pistachio balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a crispy breadcrumb coating, tender chicken interior, and nutty pistachio flavor, these balls are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
