Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 4 cups arugula

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth and quinoa to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fully cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.While the quinoa is cooking, heat a small pan over medium heat and toast the pine nuts, stirring frequently until golden (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from the pan immediately to avoid overcooking.In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, olive brine, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and pepper until well combined.In a large serving bowl, combine arugula, quinoa, pomegranate arils, red onion, golden raisins, pine nuts, and the dressing. Toss until everything is evenly coated.Gently fold in the feta. Enjoy 🤍

Notes

Rinse quinoa before cooking for better texture, and use fresh or pre-packaged pomegranate seeds for convenience. Customize with feta, chickpeas, or herbs like mint for added flavor and crunch.

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.
