Tips:
- Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic has a stronger flavor and aroma than pre-minced or jarred garlic.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it to cook evenly without burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. Letting the chicken rest before serving will help the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
This easy garlic chicken recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the garlic sauce is flavorful and slightly tangy. This recipe is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion.
