By No1momto_3

Ingredients

• 1 (1-pound) box fusilli
• 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium chicken broth, and more if needed
• 1 pound cubed chicken
• 1 packed cup fresh parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons roasted pistachio nuts
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• Salt
• Ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cook fusilli according to package directions.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides.

Meanwhile, in a blender, combine parsley, remaining broth, pistachio nuts, and garlic. Process until smooth, adding more broth, if necessary, to create a sauce-like consistency.

Add sauce to chicken in skillet and cook 1 minute to heat through. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
