INGREDIENTS
| 4 | boneless skinless chicken breasts |
| 4 | sheets (18X12 inches) heavy duty foil, lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray |
| 1 | tablespoon olive oil |
| 1/4 | teaspoon paprika |
| 1/4 | cup finely chopped pistachio nuts |
| 2 | tablespoons finely chopped green onion |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Place each chicken breast on sheet of foil. Brush chicken with oil; sprinkle with paprika. Double fold sides and ends of foil to seal packets, leaving head space for heat circulation. Place packets on baking sheet.
- Bake packets 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Carefully open one end of foil packet to allow steam to escape. Open foil completely; sprinkle chicken with nuts and green onions. Leave foil open and return to oven. Bake about 5 minutes or chicken is no longer pink in center (170°F).
- Transfer contents of packets to serving plates. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
