Definitely on my “Must Try” list. Thanks!
CHICKEN WITH ALMONDS
2 lb chicken, breasts with skin or thighs without, trimmed of fat
butter or oil
1 tsp. dried marjoram, or rosemary, or thyme
1/4 c. chopped onion, roughly
garlic to taste, optional
white wine, 1/4 to 1/c cup
2 Tb or so tomato paste
about 1/4 cup sliced almonds, more if you like
1/4 to 1/2 cup sour cream, or mix plain yogurt and sweet cream
1. Brown chicken in butter or oil, both sides, medium high heat.
2. Reduce heat, add onions, marjoram, wine, almonds, tomato paste, simmer 20 minutes or until done.
3. Stir in sour cream and serve. On noodles or rice if you can afford the carbs. Green bean recipe below good side dish.
DRESSED-UP GREEN BEANS
Boil some green beans to your liking, sort of crisp is better. Fresh ones. Not frozen. Not canned.
Saute some matchstick carrots and finely chopped onions, maybe some red pepper slices and mushrooms. Drain beans, add to other vegetables in saute pan, add 1 Tb Italian dressing (not that gooey diet stuff) and 1 Tb soy sauce, stir around for a minute or two and serve.
