I posted the hollandaise sauce recipe below, and here's a tasty dish with this sauce as a component. Chicken Divan is a recipe that's been around for a long time, and there are several versions of it. Here's the one I created using ingredients we can have. I made a big pan of it, and it was enough for several meals. Chicken Divan One large, or two smaller chicken breasts Almond flour to coat the chicken Olive oil or grapeseed oil to saute the above A double recipe of hollandaise sauce (see recipe in post below) Broccoli - steamed or cooked just enough for it to be tender crisp. I have recently rediscovered Costco and they have the best frozen organic broccoli for a really decent price. It's a huge bag with four smaller packages inside. I used about one and a half of the smaller bags in this dish. I just put the frozen broccoli in the microwave and it got to just the right texture in the process of defrosting. I chopped it into small chunks, but you could do the same with fresh broccoli, or...you could use the frozen chopped broccoli although it's chopped a bit finer...it would still be good. Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the chicken breasts horizontally to make thin slices. I cut mine into smaller pieces after that, but you wouldn't have to. Salt and pepper and then dredge in almond flour that's also been salted and peppered. Saute in a skillet with just a bit of oil. The almond flour does tend to get a little over browned in places, but it's still good. Just keep an eye on it. The idea is just to brown the outside...not to cook it through. This just takes a couple of minutes on each side. Put the chopped broccoli and the hollandaise sauce in a oven proof pan (I use a Pyrex...9" by 13"). Mix well and place the cooked chicken pieces on top. Cover with foil and bake until chicken is done through and the broccoli mixture is nice and bubbly. Leave the foil on...the almond flour on the chicken is already kind of brown, so no need to brown it up further...and...the foil lid makes the chicken more tender too. Ok...if you're concerned about using eight egg yolks in this recipe and wasting all those egg whites (which is what you'd need to use in a double recipe of hollandaise sauce) then...don't worry. If you have ice trays, just pour one egg white per ice cube hole and freeze. Pop them out afterward and put in a zip lock. You can thaw them without cooking them by placing them in a small bowl and then putting that bowl in a bigger bowl with warm water. It just takes a few minutes! If you're wondering what to use egg whites for on our eating program then...I have the perfect solution...just make the candied nuts! The recipe is on this thread, but it's way down, so I'll repeat it here. Candied Nuts Preheat the oven to 250 Line a pan with parchment In a bowl, mix an egg white, some stevia, and a big spoonful of cinnamon. Mix the nuts of your choice in this to coat. I just keep adding until it all looks coated or until it looks right. This recipe is not rocket science but it sure is good! I like to use walnuts in it...and...joy of all joy...I found organic walnuts at Costco for a decent price! Enjoy! Love, Karen | |||
