Easy Chicken With 40 Cloves Of Garlic
Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic is a classic French dish that sounds intimidating but is incredibly simple to make. As it bakes, the garlic softens and sweetens, transforming into a buttery, mellow treat that perfectly complements the tender chicken. You’ll love how the flavors meld together, creating a dish that’s both comforting and impressive. I love how this French recipe fills my kitchen with an irresistible aroma. The garlic and herbs work their magic, making the chicken juicy and flavorful. Plus, it’s a one-pot meal, which means less cleanup and more time to enjoy with your loved ones. Trust me, this is a recipe you’ll want to make again and again. Preheat your oven to 375℉. Clean the chicken thighs, pat them dry, and cut them in half. This helps them cook faster and soak up all the delicious flavors. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook them until they start to brown and are no longer pink. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. In the same skillet, add the whole garlic cloves. Season them with cumin, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the garlic evenly. Pour in the white wine, stir, and scrape any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until the wine reduces slightly and the garlic begins to brown. Stir in the chicken broth, then add the browned chicken back to the skillet. Cover with a lid and place the skillet in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Once done, garnish the dish with fresh parsley.
Storage
Keep this dish in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. This chicken also freezes very well. The garlic cloves will break down even more and be just that much softer when thawed. Reheat in the oven at 425℉, covered, for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
