I’ve posted this recipe before, but I’ve been asked to re-post it during “diet” recipe postings because it tastes so good. So here it is again just in case you didn’t copy it last time.

Chicken Pistachio Salad

(Serves 4)

 

50g shelled pistachio nuts, finely ground

1/2 + 1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon + 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

50g chopped sweet white onion

1 head romaine lettuce

 

Salad Recipe Dressing

 

1 teaspoon grated sweet white onion

1 large ripe avocado, pitted and peeled

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon water

 

Cooking Method:

To make the salad: Preheat the oven to 190 deg C. Mix the nuts with 1/2

teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a pie dish.  Press the chicken into

the nuts.  Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and cook the coated

breasts, 2 minutes per side.  Place the breasts in a baking dish, place in

the oven, and bake for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the

thickest portion registers 71 deg C and the juices run clear.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over high

heat.  Add the chopped onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.  Cook

until the onion is browned.  Line 4 serving plates with lettuce.

To make the dressing: Puree the onion, avocado, oil, lime juice and water in

a blender.

 

Slice the chicken breasts and arrange 1 breast on top of the lettuce on each

plate.  Serve with the dressing.
