Chicken

Green Beans with Toasted Almonds

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken dry and rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh herbs.

  2. 2

    Spit Roast the Chicken

    Preheat your rotisserie or wood-fired grill. Place the chicken on the spit and roast for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Preparing the Green Beans

  1. 3

    Blanch the Green Beans

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Toast the Almonds

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced almonds and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine and Season

    Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with toasted almonds, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Preparing the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Once the chicken is done, remove from the spit and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve alongside the green beans and mashed potatoes.
