I haven’t done it with almonds for over a year but I seem to remember it was very good as well.

the chicken is actually heavily coated and for it to stay really moist needs to be heavily coated.

Hope yours turns out good.

I have a whole bunch of ground almonds kicking around my freezer. I might try using them!

I agree with Tina, the pic is beautiful! For just a sprinkle, it looks like you rubbed the chicken…. very appealing look. I’ve never thought about using pistachio with Chicken either. I’m going to give this one a try next week and let you know how it goes.

cashews might be too fatty? I think they might turn to mush when you grind them…not sure…anyone know?

What a great idea! I love pistachios. I bet it would be good with cashews too.

yes, I’m sure you can use other nuts…almonds work well…I’ve used them before.

I have a nice bulk source for pistachios that is very inexpensive…I’m lucky!!

Beautiful! I love it! I just wish pistachios were in my budget right now (they are ludicrously expensive where I am). Could use other nuts, though…Hmmm…

Right – I guess the grinding would make them like slivers or power. Sounds great. I was just commenting on your yellow squash recipe and that I’ll be “stealing” it for a side!
