Transfer 1/3 cup yogurt mixture to a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken and shake until coated. Add carrots to processor and puree with remaining yogurt sauce; refrigerate carrot raita. Spread pistachios on a wide plate. Remove chicken from yogurt mixture and dredge in pistachio crumbs, pressing them to adhere until fully coated. Shake off any excess.
