Nutrition Facts : Calories 171.3, Fat 5.4, SaturatedFat 2.1, Cholesterol 82.8, Sodium 264.4, Carbohydrate 0.5, Sugar 0.1, Protein 28.3

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Italian cooking, so make sure you use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This easy Italian garlic chicken recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy chicken recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
