Chipotle Chicken with Chunky Pistachio Sauce

Smoky chipotle chicken grilled to perfection, with a chunky fun sauce featuring pistachios, avocado, lemon, and chives! This is so good!

Why Is Chunky Sauce So Fun?

I make a lot of blended, smooth green sauces – but this lady is a whole new vibe. Spoonable, chunky, and fun. She is the exact thing I didn’t realize my smoky grilled chicken was needing.

The combination of avocado, pistachio, chives, and lemon is like a mashup of guacamole, gremolata, and springtime brightness and it is SO good.

I know some of you are going to look at the sauce ingredients and think you want a lime in there, but give the lemon a chance. The lemon with the chives and the roasty pistachios… it’s so fresh and unique. I want this for you.

What I like this with:

  • my go-to easy rice method which is absolutely hands off
  • the simple green salad my kids love
  • multiple types of roasted veggies – but this broccoli especially

If you’re worried about things getting spicy, use smoked paprika instead of chipotle! It’ll give you the smokiness without the spicy. Delish.

I hope you love this!
