Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup roasted garlic paste
1 potato, finely diced
Splash white wine
2 cups chicken stock, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 bunch chives
4 (6-ounce) chicken chops (bone-in, skin-on, thickly cut breasts, ask your butcher)
Directions
- Preheat the grill to high. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
- Add the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the roasted garlic paste and potato. Mix well. Cook for 2 minutes, then add a splash of white wine and 2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Cook until potato is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Once tender, add the cream and lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Once cooled add the mixture to a blender. Add a bunch of chives, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 tablespoons chicken stock. Pulse until pureed and smooth.
- Season the chicken chops with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Put the chops on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops from the grill to sheet pan and bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and arrange the chops on a serving platter. Serve with roasted garlic and chive puree.
