Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. This will ensure that your dish is bursting with flavor and nutrients.
- Be sure to use a large enough skillet so that the chicken has plenty of room to brown. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has time to brown evenly without burning. Be patient and don't rush the process.
- Add the garlic towards the end of the cooking process so that it doesn't burn. Garlic burns easily, so be careful not to overcook it.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Serve the chicken saut with garlic immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
