Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast about 7 oz/ 200 g each, portions
- 7 oz hazelnut unroasted, Note 1, whole
- 2 onion small
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cognac optional
- 5-6 tablespoons apricot jam heaped
- sea salt fine
- black pepper fine
- chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Season: Pat dry the chicken portions, sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a shallow oven dish, close to each other; there should not be any space in between the chicken breasts, otherwise, some of the glaze will seep to the bottom of the pan.4 portions chicken breast + fine sea salt and pepper
- Roast the hazelnuts in a pan without adding any fat until fragrant. Remove to a large plate, let stand until cool enough to handle, then rub them between your palms to remove as much of the brown skins as possible; you don't have to remove every bit of it. Chop the hazelnuts roughly.7 oz whole hazelnuts
- Make topping: Chop the onions finely. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onions until golden. Add the hazelnuts, stir well for a couple of minutes, then add the Cognac and the apricot jam. Mix well and pour this mixture over the chicken.2 small onions + 1 tablespoon olive oil + 2 tablespoons Cognac + 5-6 tablespoons apricot jam, heaped
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil, ensure that the foil doesn't touch the chicken, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking, uncovered, for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is sticky.
- Serve: Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately with a green salad and baguette or rice.
Notes
- Nuts: You can also use almonds, although I find hazelnuts to be the best choice for this recipe.
