I love making super garlicky meals (we usually have some sort of garlicy meal at least once a week). There’s just something about the flavor that I really love. So when I was planning what I wanted to make for lunch this past week, I knew I wanted to try out a new recipe that involved lots of garlic.
Recently I had seen a recipe on Pinterest for a chicken curry that used garlic, and had been wanting to try it. So I decided that I would make a Garlic Chicken recipe instead. I also wanted to try a different kind of sauce on the chicken, so I went with a lemon sauce this time around.
I made this Particular Garlic Chicken recipe for lunch and I loved it. It wasn’t as spicy as I thought it would be, which was actually perfect. The sauce was nice and tangy without being too much of either. The garlic and lemon are a perfect combination and really bring the chicken to life.
This one is definitely a keeper in my book!
Ingredients:
-
1 1/2 to 2 pounds (700 to 900 grams) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
-
1/4 cup dry white wine or broth
-
1/4 cup chopped parsley
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
-
Season chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan or skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds - 1 minute). Then add the chicken, season with salt and pepper to taste and sauté for 1-2 minutes on one side (until just beginning to turn pink), then flip.
-
Pour in wine (or broth), add fresh herbs. Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until wine reduces by about half and the chicken is cooked through (don't over cook your chicken).
-
Stir in the remaining butter, basil and cilantro and take off heat immediately.
-
Serve over rice, pasta, garlic bread or steamed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini noodles).
