GARLIC CHICKEN - VOILA COPYCAT
I put this together in 20 minutes and it tasted just like the store bought version. I'm sure it had less the calories but the flavor was the same (or better)! This is quick and tasty! I used penne pasta but any swirls or shells would work just as well.

Steps:
- Cook chicken breast (uncut) on skillet with enough water to keep it moist through the cooking time. Add garlic, paprika and a pinch of salt to the top. (I like mine with extra seasonings so add to taste.).
- Cover and let simmer about 5 minutes then repeat on other side.
- While the chicken is cooking, place pasta to cook and steam broccoli and carrots in the microwave for about 5 minutes.
- When the water steams away, add corn to the pan at low heat. You may dice the chicken at this step so it won't lose it's moisture.
- Add veggies and pasta to chicken and corn. Stir and add pepper to taste.
- Serve with a sprinkle of romano or parmesan cheese. (I used shredded italian blend from the store.).

Steps:
- Place chicken in a bowl, and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake the excess flour off of the chicken, and reserve in the bowl. Place the chicken in the hot pan, and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan, and keep warm.
- Whisk some of the chicken broth into the flour in the bowl until smooth. Stir this into the drippings in the skillet, then stir in the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Simmer over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a quick and easy meal. If you prefer dark meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead.
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large skillet or wok to cook the chicken. This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and vegetables.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
- Stir-fry the chicken in batches, if necessary. This will prevent the chicken from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of browning.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The chicken should be white and opaque in the center.
- Add the vegetables and sauce to the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is heated through.
- Serve the Garlic Chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Conclusion:
This Garlic Chicken is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The sauce is creamy and garlicky, and it is the perfect finishing touch to this dish.
