The blogger Pilar, Labaronísima, shows us a very original recipe, with pistachios as star ingredients, rich in magnesium, iron and calcium.
Chicken breaded in pistachio nuts, accompanied by green garnish.
Ingredients:
- 2 filleted chicken breasts or drumsticks
- 4 tablespoons of raw
- Medina pistachios
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- For the garnish:
- 200 g steamed green beans
- 4 sprigs of celery
- 1/2 green pepper
Let's get cooking!
- To prepare the chicken, start by chopping the pistachios. Then spread them out in a shallow dish.
- Beat the egg and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Next, dip the fillets in the egg and then in the pistachios.
- It can either be cooked in a fryer with EVOO or, for a healthier option, in the oven. Spread them out on parchment paper and when they are toasted on one side, turn them over.
- For the garnish, chop the vegetables. Pour EVOO into a frying pan and add the celery and pepper. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Leave to poach over a medium heat, covered. When it is ready, add the chopped green beans and cook until they are poached.
- Remove the chicken from the oven or frying pan, and the vegetables from the frying pan and plate. Top with a few leaves of rocket for a touch of freshness and a few more pieces of chopped pistachio on top.
