South Beach Chicken Salad

1/2 cup shelled pistachio nuts, smashed (recipe actually calls for finely ground, but I like them somewhat whole)

1/2 tsp salt

pepper

chicken breasts

olive oil

red onion

romaine lettuce

Preheat the oven to 375 deg. Mix the nuts with salt and pepper. Press the chicken into the nuts. Heat some oil in the skillet and cook the coated breasts, 2 min per side. Place the breasts in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes or until done.

Dressing (Cilantro Mayo)

3/4 cup reduced fat mayo

3/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves

1 Tbls lime juice

1 tsp light soy sauce

1 small clove garlic

When chicken is done, allow to cool. Cut up lettuce. Put in chicken and pistachios and chopped onion. Cover with mayo dressing. Yummy!
