directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2
Combine garlic, chile, lime zest, mint, pistachios and sumac in a small bowl. Stir well.
Step 3
Season chicken very lightly with salt and pepper. Dip both sides of chicken into pistachio mixture, patting down to create a crust. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. When oil is hot, sear chicken for about 1 minute per side, or until golden. Transfer chicken to a small roasting pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
Step 4
Serve with rice or couscous.
