The broad bean season is unpredictable, invariably short and entirely dependant on weather conditions. Should fresh beans be unavailable, head to the freezer section of the supermarket - nutritionally they match fresh beans, and already peeled, take one step out of this delicious dish.
Ingredients
4 small organic chicken breasts
2 500 gram packets frozen broad beans, (equivalent to 2kg broad beans in their pods)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp arrowroot
1 lemon zest and juice only
2 tbsp dill, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
¼ cup water
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Brush and season the chicken breasts with olive oil and seal each side for 2 minutes on a grill pan. Transfer to a baking sheet to cook through for 15 minutes. Note: Many people of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern decent have a genetic condition involving the lack of a particular blood enzyme called favism. For them, eating broad beans (fava beans) produces a blood disease with general symptoms including fatigue, extreme paleness, nausea, abdominal and/or back pain, fever, chills and difficulty breathing.
