- 1 cup Pistachio nuts chopped into small bits in a blender or food processor
- 1 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless butterflied
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup Canola oil or more if needed
- 4 tbsp Sweet chili sauce
- 4 Dinner rolls or bread of your choice
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley garnish
Instructions
- Mix the breadcrumbs and chopped pistachios in a bowl.
- Coat the chicken with the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat very well with the breadcrumb pistachio mixture. Make sure to press and pack the breadcrumb pistachio mixture on tightly. Then set aside.
