Vegan Pistachio-Cranberry Chicken
Finding meals to eat and serve among meat-eating relatives can be difficult without proper preparation and a lot of creativity. I know in my younger days I ate a lot of meals comprised entirely of meat-free side dishes while everyone else had ham or turkey. But, there's no reason you can't enjoy a flavorful meat-free main dish, too. This breaded Pistachio-Cranberry chicken incorporates those Fall flavors, serves as a hearty main dish and is meatless.
