Last nights dinner w/ a side salad: I estimated 160 cls (chicken only)

Skinless, bonless, chicken breasts (5-6)

1/4 cup olive oil
10-15 whole peeled garlic cloves
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper

Method
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the garlic in a roasting pan. Lay the chicken thighs over the garlic cloves. Top the chicken with the remaining ingredients and season well with salt and pepper. Roast in 400 degree oven, turning occasionally until the chicken is golden and most of the broth/juice has evaporated, leaving only olive oil in the pan. Remove the chicken and garlic cloves from the pan leaving the olive oil behind. Serve the chicken garnished with the whole roasted garlic cloves and additional lemon wedges.



Notes: The chicken in this dish is succulent and the garlic is soft, mild and delicious.



Number of Servings: 5-6

    This is great.

    This recipe also works with hind quarters (leg and thigh pieces). The juices this makes can be put over steamed veggies. I cook the pieces with the skin on and toss the skin after cooking. The skin helps keep the moisture and flavor in during cooking which eliminates basting.

    I give this two thumbs up.

    Bump just means that someone is "bumping" this thread to the top of the list. This way it doesn't get lost in all the other topics. It also will put it in their topics so they can find it later.
