A friend gave me a American Chestnuts pod, I’m waiting for it to split and give up the seed.

You will want to germinate them after the soil has warmed enough to work it. Alternatively, if you want to start them indoors, then you may do so. This can be done with Supplemental lighting to give it a head start. Just use a good quality all-purpose potting mix. Here is an article with several more bits of information that will help: http://ecosystems.psu.edu/research/chestnut/breeding/planting/planting-manual.pdf [2]
