Chicken fillets with oregano and almonds

This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, offering a well-balanced meal with broccoli on the side. The white wine adds a touch of elegance and depth to the flavors.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp dried oregano
16g
2 tbsp almonds
30g
1 cup white wine
230g
16 oz broccoli
450g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
- Trim any fat from the chicken breasts and season them with salt, pepper, and half of the dried oregano.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped almonds and the remaining dried oregano, stirring for another 2 minutes, until the almonds are slightly toasted.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze (loosen the browned bits). Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly.
4. Cook the Broccoli:
- While the sauce is simmering, you can start steaming the broccoli. You can do this in a steamer basket over boiling water or by microwaving with a bit of water in a covered bowl. Cook until the broccoli is tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let it warm through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Plate the chicken breasts and spoon the almond sauce over the top.
- Serve the chicken with a side of steamed broccoli, and enjoy!

Tips:

- Make sure to pound the chicken breasts evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.

- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the dish for enhanced flavor.

- Use fresh oregano if possible for a more vibrant taste.

- Pair the dish with a light, crisp white wine that complements the flavors without overpowering them.

- Steam or blanch the broccoli until it's just tender to maintain its bright green color and maximize nutrients.
