Garlic chicken is a popular dish loved by many for its rich and savory flavor. If you're looking to make this delicious meal at home, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, basil, and rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breasts. Sear them on both sides until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid simmer for a few minutes until it reduces slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This garlic chicken recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
