- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 250 g of chicken leg ragout and sear until golden brown on all sides.
- Add 1 piece of finely diced shallot and 1 piece of chopped yellow pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in 1 piece of sliced yellow peach and 30 g of whole almonds. Season with 1 tsp of fine salt and 0.5 tsp of white ground pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the almonds are toasted.
- Garnish with 1 bunch of lemon verbena leaves before serving.
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil and lemon verbena for an hour before cooking.
