Pistachio Cilantro Pesto over Chicken

This was awesome- I can't claim this. Out of my fave recipe book Bon Appetit.

Throw the following into a food processor or blender:
1 cup toasted pistachios
2 cups packed fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove
a pinch of cardamom (it tastes great without this if you don't have any on hand)
3 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil

Blend in a food processor or a blender until a thick paste forms.

1. Take chicken breasts or thighs and slather and place in a pyrex.
on about half the pesto.
2. Now, this is what I did. I bought a couple large chicken breasts, slathered on maybe a half of the pesto, and placed the breasts in a baking dish doused with olive oil. Put it in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, covered with foil.
