Menu Monday (Mother's Day Special Edition)

My Mom and Mom-in-Law were both honoring their Mother-in-Laws yesterday.  So, they are coming over to have a belated Mother's Day Dinner tonight.  And I have to say, there are no two women more deserving of celebration!



Here is the menu for tonight:



Pistachio Chicken
Roasted Asparagus
Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Rolls
Hershey Bar Pie (Topped With Fresh Strawberries to Satisfy My Mother-In-Law's "Fruit Tooth")


Here is the recipe to one of our favorites, Pistachio Chicken:

1/2 cup shelled pistachio nuts, finely ground + 1/4 tsp of salt + 1/2 tsp of freshly ground black pepper

4 boneless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix nuts, salt, and black pepper in pie plate. 
Press chicken into the mixture. Heat the oil in skillet and cook the coated chicken on each side until browned.  Place the breasts in a baking dish and bake 15-20 minutes or until the thickest portion is cooked through.

Enjoy!

So....what is your favorite dish for entertaining?  I would love to come up with some new favorites!
