GARLIC CHICKEN - VOILA COPYCAT

Garlic Chicken - Voila Copycat image

I put this together in 20 minutes and it tasted just like the store bought version. I'm sure it had less the calories but the flavor was the same (or better)! This is quick and tasty! I used penne pasta but any swirls or shells would work just as well.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

8 ounces chicken breasts
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup water
1 cup broccoli
2 -3 carrots
1/2 cup sweet corn
1 cup pasta
2 tablespoons romano cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

Cook chicken breast (uncut) on skillet with enough water to keep it moist through the cooking time. Add garlic, paprika and a pinch of salt to the top. (I like mine with extra seasonings so add to taste.).
Cover and let simmer about 5 minutes then repeat on other side.
While the chicken is cooking, place pasta to cook and steam broccoli and carrots in the microwave for about 5 minutes.
When the water steams away, add corn to the pan at low heat. You may dice the chicken at this step so it won't lose it's moisture.
Add veggies and pasta to chicken and corn. Stir and add pepper to taste.
Serve with a sprinkle of romano or parmesan cheese. (I used shredded italian blend from the store.).

Tips:

To achieve the perfect crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before cooking. This will help the seasonings adhere and create a golden brown crust.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. Cast iron skillets distribute heat evenly and retain heat well, ensuring that the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're cooking multiple pieces of chicken, make sure there's enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from burning and ensure that it cooks through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.

Conclusion:

This copycat Golden Bird chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful spices, this chicken is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
