Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar and butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs; continue beating until well mixed. Add sour cream, orange extract and orange peel. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Beat, scraping bowl often, until just mixed. DO NOT OVERMIX. Stir in chocolate chips and ground pistachios by hand.
Spoon batter into greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (If browning too quickly, cover loaf with aluminum foil.) Cool 10 minutes; invert onto cooling rack. Cool completely.
Combine powdered sugar and enough orange juice in small bowl for desired glazing consistency. Drizzle over cooled bread.
Recipe Tip
For a more tender crust, do not glaze. Wrap loaf in plastic food wrap; refrigerate overnight. Prepare glaze as directed above; drizzle over bread.
