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.

GARLIC CHICKEN SAUCE



Garlic Chicken Sauce image

This is a quick and easy sauce made from pantry ingredients that tastes more complex than it is. Serve over chicken cutlets or mashed potatoes, or toss with hot cooked pasta. Wonderful with sliced sauteed chicken over spaghetti, hot cooked shrimp or seafood mix over linguini, or pork cubes and spaetzle. Also excellent served over penne and steamed broccoli. Makes a good base for chicken casseroles in place of "cream of" soup from a can. Increase the garlic to your taste and feel free to add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup hot water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
1 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt
pepper
1 lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and saute until fragrant and slightly brown, but don't let it get overly browned or burnt.
  • Add flour and whisk to combine (this makes a roux).
  • Cook and whisk the roux for a minute or so. You want it blonde, not brown.
  • Mix the bouillon powder, hot water, and milk.
  • Pour all at once in a thin stream into the roux, whisking all the while to avoid lumps. Keep whisking! It may look lumpy but if you keep whisking it will smooth out.
  • Bring to a bubble, and allow to bubble until thickened.
  • Squeeze the wedge of lemon over top (watch for seeds!).
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
