Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic
WOW. I found this recipe in the following blog, and did not change a thing:
My dad happened to call and ask if he could stop by and visit with Audrey this evening, and I told him it was perfect timing because I was trying a new recipe and had plenty to share. He and Dan both really enjoyed the chicken, baguette, and sauce (as did I). I chose a fresh whole wheat baguette from Whole Foods, baked it in the 450 oven for about 7 minutes, and it complemented the dish perfectly. I can honestly say that I will have some major cravings in the near future for this delicious, moist (I hate that word, but for some reason typing it isn't that bad, ha ha), chicken, along with the crusty bread dipped in the sauce. The sauce is beyond amazing. It was heavenly.
I served it with a simple salad of mixed greens, strawberries, cucumbers, and toasted almonds (dressing=equal parts white balsamic vinegar and olive oil, mixed with a tablespoon of sugar).
**TIP**
Just like Amanda advises in her blog, prep the garlic ahead of time. Actually, read the entire recipe several times ahead of time (I did it a few hours prior while Audrey was napping), and set everything out. The recipe is not difficult to follow, but there are quite a few steps, and you don't want to get stuck having to brine the chicken (at least 30 minutes, but I did it for an hour), or spend 20 minutes ripping apart the garlic, when you are ready to get going and eat in a timely manner.
I followed the recipe exactly, and took pictures along the way. Enjoy! :)
