Roasted Garlic Chicken with Green Beans Amande

Chicken

1 tsp. olive oil
salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 head garlic
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Green Beans

1 cup green beans, washed and trimmed
olive oil spray
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. raw almonds, sliced

For the chicken:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Drizzle the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper over the garlic head and wrap it in foil.  Roast the garlic about 15 to 20 minutes, until it is halfway done.

While the garlic is roasting, lightly dust the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Remove the garlic from the oven, then carefully pinch out the garlic cloves onto the chicken.  Put the chicken on a roasting rack and place in the oven.  Cook for 18 to 20 minutes.

For the Green Beans:
Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil.  Place the green beans in the water for 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove and pat dry.  Lightly coat a medium saucepan with olive oil spray.  Heat the pan on  medium, then add the minced garlic and almonds.  Cook until the almonds turn slightly brown.  Add the green beans and cook until combined and hot.

Serve with chicken. Serves 4.
