Today's guest post is from Donna Sheynfeld, author of The Newlyfed food blog. Donna is a newly-married New York City teacher recently transplanted to Lubbock, Texas for a year. The Newlyfed blog came to fruition during Donna's quest for healthy eating. She soon realized that so much of the food in the US is complete junk.

Somehow I've fallen into a tiny chicken rut again. I guess that's ok if I can continue to keep our meals diversified enough. I've certainly put some mileage on our Slow Cooker Chicken Chilli recipe.

If you were to taste just one bite of the pistachio-crusted breast, you’d mistakenly think it’d taken hours of preparation. Not so! Not so! Ever breaded a chicken cutlet before? That’s essentially what you do to your chicken breasts but, instead of coating them with breadcrumbs, you’re covering them with ground pistachio nuts.
