Savory Roasted Plum Chicken Recipe

Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation: Roasted Plum Chicken with Pistachio Herb Crust. This dish was inspired by a recent trip to the farmer’s market where I found perfectly ripe plums and fresh pistachios that just begged to be paired with savory chicken. The result is a delicious and unexpected combination of flavors that will surely wow your taste buds.

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (600g)
– 4 ripe plums, pitted and sliced (300g)
– 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped (150g)
– 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped (10g)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• food processor
• oven
• baking dish

Preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. In a food processor, combine the pistachios, mint, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until you have a coarse mixture.

Spread the pistachio herb crust evenly over the chicken breasts, pressing gently to adhere. Arrange the plum slices on top of the crust. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy the unique combination of flavors in this dish.

Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, try drizzling a bit of balsamic reduction over the finished dish before serving. The sweetness of the reduction pairs perfectly with the tangy plums and savory chicken.

This Roasted Plum Chicken with Pistachio Herb Crust serves 4 people. The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1050g. Each serving weighs around 262g. Enjoy this dish with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

I hope you give this recipe a try and get creative with your own twist on it. Feel free to swap out the plums for another seasonal fruit or experiment with different nuts in the crust. Cooking should be fun and exciting, so don’t be afraid to make it your own. Bon appétit!
