How To Make coconut milk chicken and rice with pistachios

• Step 1
  Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness.
• Step 2
  In a shallow dish, add flour. Salt & pepper chicken; then dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture. Shake off excess.
• Step 3
  Add 2 Tbsp oil to a 12-inch nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides. Remove chicken to a plate.
• Step 4
  Add 1 Tbsp oil to the same pan. Add the onion, Garam Masala, and 1/2 tsp salt to the pan until onions are softened. Reduce heat and stir in rice and garlic - cook approximately 30 seconds.
• Step 5
  Add chicken broth and coconut milk. Fit chicken into rice and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low heat - stir occasionally until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
• Step 6
  Add green peas and let the peas warm through. Adjust seasoning. Add pistachios and cilantro and stir into rice/chicken mixture.
• Step 7
  Note: If you prefer, remove chicken once cooked through (tent loosely with foil) and serve separately with rice.
