Notes

Persimmon and Beet Salad is best enjoyed fresh, but the beets can be roasted ahead of time for easy prep. For extra crunch, top with toasted nuts or seeds, and feel free to swap the persimmons with pears if they’re out of season.

Pistachio Chicken Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different nut?

The sweet/salty flavor of the pistachios is what really makes this recipe great. I do not recommend using a different nut. If you want to make homemade chicken nuggets, try this recipe.

How do I know when my chicken is done?

I suggest using an instant read thermometer so you know when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F and you can be sure they are fully cooked.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, this recipe is easily doubled or even tripled to serve a crowd.
