Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.

Place the butter, herbs and pistachios in a food processor until smooth.

Place the herb/butter mixture in between the skin and the flesh, making sure to cover the entire breast.

Season the breast with the Latin Spice, salt and pepper.

Cover loosely with aluminum foil for 1 1/2 hours then uncover until cooked through and golden brown.

Place the breast in a rack inside a roasting pan and bake for 2 to 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees (this will depend on the size of the breast and the oven used).

Once the breast is cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 min. Slice and serve.
