Garlic Chicken

Hey folks...I've been incog negro for a few days....on these blogs....Escapades doesn't count...Those posts are written and scheduled in advance....Way in advance...But I try to keep Keith's Space and this blog fresh and up to date.

I know, I know....That was a cheap plug for my other two blogs... So moving right along...Let's stay on topic and deal with this blog! You can do so many things with chicken...and I've talked about Garlic Fried Chicken before.  Today I want to talk about Garlic Baked Chicken..

The whole cloves of garlic turn mild and buttery when they're simmered with chicken in a simple white wine-mustard sauce in this garlic chicken recipe for two. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.

INGREDIENTS: 


1 head(s) garlic, cloves separated

4 (about 1 1/4 pounds) chicken drumsticks , skin removed, trimmed

1/4 teaspoon(s) salt, divided

1/8 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper

1 1/2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoon(s) white wine

1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon(s) Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon(s) all-purpose flour

3 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh chives or scallion greens


DIRECTIONS:

1.Lightly smash garlic cloves with the side of a large knife to loosen the skins. Peel; cut the large ones in half. Sprinkle chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.

2. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.

3. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn it over and return the garlic to the pan. Add wine and cook for 1 minute.

4. Whisk broth, mustard, flour and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the pan; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the garlic is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce, sprinkled with chives (or scallion greens). 

Serve with a red wine! 

Enjoy!
