Steps

Prepare ingredients: cut chicken into 4 cm chunks, slice bananas into 2 cm rounds, pit and drain olives, finely chop onion and mince garlic.

⏱ 10 min💡 Keep banana separate until cooking begins to prevent browning.

Install stirring attachment into the bowl. Add 1.5 tbsp olive oil, then add chicken chunks, onion, and garlic. Heat gently to sear the chicken until lightly browned on the outside.

GastroLab:Install stirring attachment. On touchscreen: select Manual → set 100°C, Speed 4, Time 3 min → press knob to start.

⏱ 3 min💡 This brief high-speed sear develops flavor without fully cooking the chicken.

Add chicken broth, white wine, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook chicken until nearly tender (approximately 30 minutes).

GastroLab:On touchscreen: select Manual → set 95°C, Speed 2, Time 30 min → press knob to start.

⏱ 30 min💡 Speed 2 with stirring attachment ensures even cooking and prevents sticking. The simmering broth will reach approximately 95-100°C (boiling point in liquid).

Add banana slices, olives, honey, and remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil. Gently fold in and continue cooking for 8 minutes to warm the banana and meld flavors without breaking the fruit.

GastroLab:On touchscreen: select Manual → set 85°C, Speed 1, Time 8 min → press knob to start.

⏱ 8 min💡 Speed 1 is very gentle to keep banana slices intact. Lower temperature prevents the banana from becoming mushy.

Finish with cold butter by removing the bowl from the device (hold knob 3 seconds to stop). Stir in butter manually to create a glossy, emulsified sauce.

GastroLab:

Hold knob for 3 seconds to cancel. Remove bowl carefully. Remove stirring attachment. Stir in cold butter manually until fully incorporated.

⏱ 2 min💡 Finishing with butter adds richness and creates a silky sauce. Do not heat after adding butter.

Chef's note: Serve over couscous, rice, or with crusty bread to catch the luscious sauce. The sweetness of the banana balances the saltiness of the olives perfectly, while the chicken remains tender. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
