Garlic chicken?

Question

I've seen recipes for 40 garlic clove chicken, but they are mostly for a whole chicken. I'm trying to figure out how I can make it for my husband and I using chicken breasts. Any ideas how I can do this? (I'd like to bake it rather than putting it in the slowcooker)

Answer 1

I mkae "Chicken w/ 40 Cloves of Garlic" using breasts cut in half (w/ bone for lfavor). I think it would be good w/ boneless hunks, too; just cook for less time. But here's another option.

Tuscan Garlic Chicken

3 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1½ cups Flour, plus 1 tablespoon
1 Tbsp Salt
2 tsp Black pepper
2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
1 lb Penne pasta, cooked
1 Tbsp Garlic, chopped
1 Red pepper, julienne cut
½ cup White wine
½ lb Whole leaf spinach, stemmed
12 oz Heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preparing the Chicken:
- Combine 1½ cups flour, salt, black pepper and Italian herb seasoning in a shallow dish.
- Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Saute the chicken in batches, in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet - with enough oil to coat - over medium-high heat for about two to three minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- When finished, transfer the ovenproof skillet to a preheated oven at 350ºF. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.

Preparing the Sauce:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of oil in a sauce pan. Add the garlic and the red pepper and cook for approximately one minute.
- Slowly add remaining one tablespoon of flour and stir to combine.
- Next add the white wine and bring to a boil for about one minute. Add the spinach and the cream and bring to a boil. The sauce is done cooking when the spinach becomes wilted. Complete by stirring in the parmesan cheese.

Assembling Entree:
- Partly coat the pasta with the sauce, transfer to a large bowl (or individual dishes) and then top with the chicken, the remaining sauce and extra parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy.

Chicken Breast With Baked Garlic Recipe
Chicken breasts - 4 to 6 (whole)
Garlic - 1 to 2 bulbs (or 10 to 15 cloves)
Salt and pepper
Low fat butter

Slice an opening in the middle of the chicken breast. Do not cut all the way through.
Peel the garlic and cut into slices. Take these slices and stuff them into the slit you cut in the chicken breast.
Lightly coat the top of the chicken breast with butter. Then sprinkle on salt and pepper. Leave at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350C, then bake for about 30 to 45 minutes, and serve.

Answer 3

This is the recipe I use. It is so good and really simple

Garlic Chicken Breasts with Brown Sugar
This is so easy and very good!
2 Tbs oil
6 or more garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs brown sugar
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Preheat the oven to 500F.

Heat the oil over medium heat, add the minced garlic and cook slowly, stirring constantly, until softened. Make sure the oil is not too hot. You don't want to brown the garlic and it can get to that point quickly if you're not careful.

Take it off the heat after 5 minutes or so and add the brown sugar and stir it in.

Line a shallow roasting pan with foil and spread oil across the foil. Lay your boneless skinless chicken breasts across it, spread the garlic/oil/brown sugar mix across the chicken. Bake for 15 minutes, or until done.

This is from the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten.....I've made it many times and is delicious......40 garlic cloves seems a bit much, but the garlic takes on a sweet, tender and less "biting" taste when it's braised like this.....Hope you enjoy!!!


Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic Copyright 2004, Barefoot in Paris, All Rights Reserved
Show: Barefoot Contessa
Episode: Dinner and a Movie





3 whole heads garlic, about 40 cloves
2 (3 1/2-pound) chickens, cut into eighths
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
3 tablespoons Cognac, divided
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Separate the cloves of garlic and drop them into a pot of boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain the garlic and peel. Set aside.
Dry the chicken with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the butter and oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, saute the chicken in the fat, skin side down first, until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn with tongs or a spatula; you don't want to pierce the skin with a fork. If the fat is burning, turn the heat down to medium. When a batch is done, transfer it to a plate and continue to saute all the chicken in batches. Remove the last chicken to the plate and add all of the garlic to the pot. Lower the heat and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, turning often, until evenly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and the wine, return to a boil, and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pot with the juices and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Cover and simmer over the lowest heat for about 30 minutes, until all the chicken is done.

Remove the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sauce and the flour and then whisk it back into the sauce in the pot. Raise the heat, add the remaining tablespoon of Cognac and the cream, and boil for 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste; it should be very flavorful because chicken tends to be bland. Pour the sauce and the garlic over the chicken and serve hot.

Answer 10

40 cloves of garlic is way to much jest sprinkle some garlic powder about 1/2 of a tsp. per 1/2 breast bake on 350 for 50 min skin side up and it will be awesome or you could crush one clove max and spread on one breast and cook .
