Do we need to say more than "almond goat cheese butter?" Is there more that could be said, other than velvety tangy richness coats this chicken like they were meant to be together? (They were.) A fine romance, this is, and even finer is the 15 minutes it gets made in.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

Customize It Instructions

  • If using filets mignon, sirloin steak, or NY strip steak, pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.

    Trim green beans, if necessary.

    Coarsely chop almonds.

    Combine almonds, softened goat cheese, and half the softened butter (reserve remaining for green beans) in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Start the Green Beans

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add green beans, shallots, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until starting to soften, 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish Green Beans and Finish Dish

    Add 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Stir occasionally until green beans are tender and water is almost completely evaporated, 6-8 minutes.

    If green beans need more time, add 2 Tbsp. water, cover, and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in onion jam, remaining softened butter, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.
