Chicken with Fresh Fava Beans, Artichokes & Almonds

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
3/4 cup roughly chopped almonds
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups fresh fava beans (the beans from about 18 pods), or fresh lima beans, or drained canned fava beans
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts in water, drained, squeezed dry and chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel (orange part only)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken and brown for 5 minutes per side, using tongs to turn. Remove and reserve. Add almonds roast in oil until golden and fragrant; remove and set aside with chicken. Add garlic to skillet, and sauté on medium heat until garlic turns golden.

Add fava beans, chopped artichokes, wine and orange zest. Bring to a simmer, and return chicken and almonds to pan. Simmer gently until wine's volume has reduced by about half, and chicken is cooked throughout. To serve, place a piece of chicken on each plate and top with vegetables and sauce.
