Chipotle Chicken with Chunky Pistachio Sauce
Ingredients
Making Process
- Prep the Chicken: Trim excess fat from chicken thighs. Toss with taco seasoning, chipotle powder, and olive oil until evenly coated.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook until deeply browned and internal temp reaches 165°F. Rest briefly.
- Make the Pistachio Mixture: Pulse pistachios, cilantro, and chives in a mini food processor until finely chopped but not smooth.
- Finish the Sauce: Transfer mixture to a bowl. Fold in diced avocado, lemon juice, zest, oil, and salt. Stir gently to keep chunky.
- Assemble: Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Serve over rice or salad, spooning generous sauce over the top.
