Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2-3 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally to make 4)
4 tablespoons flour ((all purpose or plain))
4 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Black cracked pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1 whole head of garlic (peeled and divided into 10-12 cloves)
1 1/4 cup chicken broth ((stock))
1 1/4 cup half and half or heavy cream ((or evaporated milk))
1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, (to serve)

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, parmesan cheese. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly.
  • Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside.
  • Wipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil/juices in the pan until softened.
  • Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of a knife
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavours together.
  • Mix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavours.
  • Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper. Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.

EASY GARLIC CHICKEN BREASTS

This is really simple, but surprisingly good. The chicken is somewhat garlicky and tangy because of the lime juice, but it is not too strong-tasting. It goes great with mashed potatoes and corn muffins.

GARLIC-ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS



Garlic-Roasted Chicken Breasts image

In this Garlic-Roasted Chicken Breasts dish, roasting softens and mellows the garlic. The garlic tops serve as a rack for the chicken. Garlic bottoms are flipped halfway through to soak up juices. Leftover chicken can be used in dishes like chicken enchiladas.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 heads garlic
8 sprigs fresh oregano
2 whole roaster chicken breasts (3 1/2 pounds each), rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice tops from garlic heads, reserving the bottoms; arrange tops, cut sides down, in the center of an 11-by-17-inch roasting pan. Place 1 sprig of oregano over each garlic top, and arrange chicken breasts over garlic.
  • Place reserved garlic bottoms, cut sides up, next to chicken in the pan. Drizzle chicken and garlic bottoms with the olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place remaining 4 sprigs of oregano on top.
  • Roast chicken for 30 minutes; turn garlic bottoms cut sides down, and rotate the pan. Continue roasting chicken until skin is browned, juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes more.
  • Pour pan juices into a measuring cup; skim fat from the top. Serve juices with chicken and roasted garlic.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken breast is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
  • For a crispier chicken breast, cook it over medium-high heat. If you prefer a more tender chicken breast, cook it over medium heat.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce and cook until it thickens.
  • Serve the chicken breast immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This easy garlic chicken breast recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
