Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a pan and brown the chicken all over, 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Soften the onion and garlic in the same pan for 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the almonds and torn bread and toast for 1–2 minutes, then pour in the sherry and let it bubble for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Add the stock and bay leaf, return the chicken to the pan, cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Mash some of the almonds and bread into the sauce with a fork to thicken slightly, stir through the parsley and serve.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 30 g parsley and 300 g chicken thigh. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
