Pistachio Breaded chicken

-

My husband being the exercise and health fanatic that he is. He loves anything to do with  a healthy lifestyle. So when I came across this pistachio breaded chicken he was eager for me to try it because since it has the pistachio nut. It is jam packed with protein, fiber and so much more  of the good stuff.  I served this Pistachio chicken with brown rice, and a spinach salad.

Ingredients
Chicken Breasts
Pistachios
Seasonings (salt, pepper, etc. (your choice)


It is really easy to make. All I did was get my chicken breasts and slice it in half long wise so that the breasts can be thinner. Then I cleaned my chicken by cutting off all the fat and washing it with vinegar and water to remove all of the slim.

Once that was done. I lightly seasoned my chicken (because pistachios already have a little salt) I seasoned my chicken with  a little oil (just for the seasonings to stick) salt, pepper, all purpose seasoning and garlic salt.

After seasoning, I took my pistachios - removed the shell and put all the actual nuts into the blender and blended it up into crumbs. (It needs to look like bread crumbs) Once you have blended it. Place you pistachio crumbs onto a plate and then bread your chicken by rubbing the seasoned breasts both sides onto the pistachio crumbs.

Set a frying pan with a little oil onto the stove and put it on medium heat. Fry your breaded breast for about 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Be very careful because it burns quickly. If it is burning to fast. Just lower the heat. They should come out golden brown not black.

Serves well with rice, mashed potatoes or even pasta.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
