PIQUILLO PEPPER CHICKEN WITH SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• In a small pan over medium heat, lightly toast the almonds and reserve.
• In a small saucepan, bring the broth, raisins, 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, the turmeric, and the saffron to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for 18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
• While the rice cooks, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO, over medium-high heat. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper, add to the skillet, and cook for 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Add the piquillo peppers to the pan and heat through, about 2 minutes. Add the sherry and boil for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the butter and half the parsley and turn off the heat, stirring to melt the butter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
• Add the remaining parsley and the almonds to the rice and fluff with a fork. Serve the rice alongside the chicken.

• From the rounder, thicker side of the breast, cut into and across but not through the breast meat and butterfly the breast open. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour flour, smoked paprika and salt and pepper onto a dish; beat eggs in a second dish with a splash of water. Grind nuts, bread crumbs and parsley in food processor to combine. The nuts should have the same consistency as the bread crumbs. Start the processor in pulses then turn on to combine. Pour nut mixture onto plate. Coat the chicken in flour, egg then nuts. Wash your hands.
• Raise heat under the skillet to medium-medium high. When oil ripples, add the chicken and brown on both sides, and finish in the oven until deeply golden and cooked through.
