Ingredients

  • canola oil
  • 1/4 cup roasted pistachios roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus 1/2 lemon, sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • black pepper
  • 4 chicken legs about 2 1/2 pounds total
  • 1 pound florets
  • plain yogurt for serving

Method

  • Heat grill to medium. Once it is hot, clean the grill grate with a wire brush. Just before grilling, oil the grill grate with canola oil.
  • Combine the pistachios, parsley, capers, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill, covered, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest leg (avoiding the bone) registers 165° F, 15 to 22 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the broccoli, lemon slices, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Grill, turning occasionally, until the broccoli is golden brown and crispy, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Spread the yogurt on a plate and serve the chicken and broccoli over the top, drizzled with the pistachio-herb sauce.
