Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

Sauce
9 ounces dried large white beans, such as lima beans
1/2 cup ground almonds
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Scant 1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cold-pressed flaxseed oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
Chicken
2 spring chickens (poussins), (about 2 pounds each)
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or oregano
Lemon wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • 1. For the sauce, soak the beans in a generous amount of water overnight.
  • 2. Using poultry sheers, cut each chicken along the backbone and remove as much of the backbone as possible. Press the chickens with your fist to flatten them slightly and then place them in a large glass dish that will fit in the refrigerator.
  • 3. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, wine, garlic, onion, and some salt and pepper in a blender and purée to make a paste. Spread the paste over the chicken and massage it into the meat. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or, preferably, overnight.
  • 4. The next day, drain the beans, put them in a saucepan, and add enough fresh water to cover the beans by about 3 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat, and simmer the beans until completely soft, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain well.
  • 5. Put the beans, almonds, garlic, and vinegar in a food processor and process to a smooth paste. Gradually add the olive oil and lemon juice through the hole in the lid, processing to a thick sauce. Add the flaxseed oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • 6. Preheat the broiler until very hot, prepare the grill, or preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 7. Wipe away excess marinade from the chicken, then cook under the broiler, on the barbecue or in a roasting pan in the oven until cooked through, approximately 45 minutes. Test by piercing the thickest part of the flesh with a knife: when the chicken is cooked, the juices will run clear.
  • 8. Cut the chickens in half, sprinkle with the herbs, and serve with the sauce and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, fresh garlic and almonds, and a good quality soy sauce.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: This will help prevent the chicken and almonds from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the Sauce Gradually: Start by adding a small amount of sauce and then gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will become dry and tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken in Garlic Almond Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is flavorful and creamy, and the almonds add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
