Garlic Walnut Chicken
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil oil
- 10-12 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup water
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil. Sautee chicken on each side over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Cover the pan and continue to cook until the chicken is done. Meanwhile, in the food processor, grind the walnuts and garlic until fine, but not a paste. When chicken is done, remove from pan and keep warm. Drain the pan, reserving 4 tbsp of the drippings. Add the ground garlic and nuts to the pan and sautee on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the water and simmer for 5 more minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, turning it to coat with the sauce. Heat through before serving.
