Garlic Chicken - 15-03-25

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 sprig of rosemary (optional)
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken: If using thighs, remove the skin to make the dish lighter, but you can leave it on if you prefer more flavor. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Brown the chicken: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook them until they are golden brown on both sides. This step will give the chicken a nice flavor and color. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Cook the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Be careful not to burn it, as that will make the dish bitter.
4. Deglaze with wine: Add the white wine to the skillet, scraping the bottom to mix the chicken juices with the wine and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
5. Cook the chicken with garlic: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, add the rosemary (if using), and cover the skillet. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. If you like, you can squeeze a little lemon juice at the end for a fresh touch.
6. Serve: Serve the chicken with the garlic sauce from the skillet poured over it. You can pair it with potatoes, rice, or a salad.

Enjoy your delicious Garlic Chicken dish!
