Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic in a clay pot image

I found this recipe in Consumer Guide to Clay Cookery. Though it sounds like a lot of garlic - the peeled cloves cook into sweet, mellow nuggets of flavor - great to spread on crusty french bread. The chicken cooks up moist and tender. This recipe is cooked in a clay pot that must be soaked in cold water for 15 minutes and is placed in a cold oven to start.

This dish is a great way to warm up on a cold winter day. The garlicky chicken and vegetables are so comforting.

I like to add a little bit of white wine to the dish. It gives it a nice acidity that balances out the richness of the garlic.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make it with a rotisserie chicken, and it's always delicious.

I've made this dish with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and it's always turned out great. I think it's a more versatile recipe that way.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the garlicky chicken, and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, but I really enjoyed this dish. The garlic flavor was subtle, and it didn't overpower the other flavors in the dish.

I made this dish in a Dutch oven instead of a clay pot, and it turned out great. I think the Dutch oven helped to distribute the heat more evenly.

This recipe is a great way to use up a lot of garlic. I had a bunch of garlic that was starting to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I was skeptical about using 40 cloves of garlic, but I'm so glad I did! The garlic flavor was mellowed out by the slow cooking process, and it added a wonderful richness to the dish.
