Chicken Thighs
Stuffing
Method
Preparation
Make the Stuffing
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, parsley, basil, garlic, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and has a chunky texture. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken thigh by cutting into the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Cooking
Stuff the Chicken
Spoon the pistachio herb mixture into each chicken thigh pocket, pressing gently to ensure the stuffing is packed in. Season the outside of the thighs with salt and black pepper.
