INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1 tbsp Crushed Unsalted Peanuts (16g)
1/2 cup Sweet Cherries, pitted (77g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the crushed unsalted peanuts on a small plate. Lightly press the chicken breast onto the peanuts to form an even crust.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic clove (smashed) for additional flavor.
Sear the peanut crusted chicken breast in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, blend the pitted sweet cherries in a small saucepan over low heat until they break down into a chunky sauce. If desired, season lightly with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and drizzle with the warm cherry sauce.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crispy crunch of peanuts paired with the sweet-tart cherry sauce.
