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!
