Simple, unusual, and tasty! You can make these into balls, as an appetizer, or into patties as part of a meal. As a main course, it can serve 2. This a tried-and-true recipe, for all it sounds somewhat unusal. I really like this dish. Very yummy!

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken pistachio balls turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I served them with a side of tzatziki sauce and they were a hit with my guests.

These chicken pistachio balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been made with ground chicken instead of chicken breast.

These chicken pistachio balls were a hit at my dinner party! They were easy to make and had a delicious combination of flavors. The pistachios added a nice crunch and the chicken was moist and tender. I will definitely be making these again.
