Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into strips
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, juiced
ΒΌ cup chicken stock
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Wrap garlic cloves in a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until softened and fragrant, about 15 minutes.
  • While garlic is roasting, season chicken with onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning halfway though, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add roasted garlic to the pan, mashing the cloves as you stir. Add lime juice, chicken stock, and cilantro.
  • Stir until chicken is coated with the sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
