1 large sweet red pepper 1-1/4 cups pistachios 3/4 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs 1 cup buttermilk 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese 1/4 cup minced fresh basil 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 shallot, chopped 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Broil pepper 4 in. from heat until blistered. Rotate pepper a quarter turn. Broil and rotate until all sides are blistered and blackened. Place in a small bowl; cover and let stand 20 minutes. Process pistachios in a food processor until ground. Transfer to a shallow bowl; add bread crumbs. Place buttermilk in another bowl. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; dip in buttermilk, then coat with pistachio mixture. Place on a work surface; top with goat cheese and basil. Fold chicken in half; secure with toothpicks if necessary. Place in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 350 ° for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170 °. Discard toothpicks. Discard charred skin from pepper; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper in a food processor. In a small skillet, saute shallot in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add broth; heat through. Add mixture to the food processor; process until blended. Whisk vinegar and oil. Add spinach and basil; toss to coat. Divide salad among four plates; top with chicken and pepper sauce.
