Ingredients
- 14 garlic cloves (about 1 head +2 cloves)
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup white wine
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Peel all the garlic. Take four garlic cloves and slice them. Cut the chicken thighs into 6 pieces.
- In a medium size pan over medium high heat, add the oil. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and the salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for 6 minutes per side or until they have a nice golden brown color on both sides.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir a couple of times to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Add the wine, water, bay leaves, parsley, and stir. Cover and finish cooking for 10 minutes, then serve. ¡Buen provecho!
Notes
- Meat- For this recipe, you can use a different cut of meat. If you use chicken drumsticks or bone-in chicken thighs, you have to cook for a little longer to make sure the chicken cooks through.
- Vegetables- Even though it is not traditional, some people like to add carrots, peas, or even onion to this, so if you like, add them as well.
- Storage- Use an airtight container to store the chicken. You can keep your leftovers up to 4 days in the fridge. You can freeze it for up to 3 months.
