40 clove garlic chicken. Thank you, immersion blender

40 clove garlic chicken

Tonight's problem: There are 2 huge chicken breasts in the refridgerator that need to be cooked *tonight* (or else...)
Tonight's solution: a rendition of 40-clove garlic chicken!

This picture is from Sunset Magazine- mine looked slightly different, but followed a similar enough recipe.

 

Sprinkle some onion pepper on breasts- brown chicken breasts on med heat 30 secs on each side.

Set aside.

Take 40 whole garlic cloves and throw them in a casserole baker (preferably with a lid!). Add spice mixture (50% oregano leaves, 30% paprika, 20% thyme- spices combined should total 1/4 cup), juice of 2 lemons, juice of 1 lime, and 1/4 cup olive oil.  Mix all ingredients together. Take browned chicken and place on garlic clove/spice mixture, cover with lid. Cook at 425 for 45 minutes.

Baked Chicken - what to do when it's done

When done take out chicken & set onto serving plages. Take immersion blender and blend garlic clove mixture together-makes a thick, creamy gravy (!!) Pour over chicken & enjoy (my husband sure did)

Side dish recommendations:
Steamed spinach (in chicken broth), or
Rice Pilaf, or
Roasted Zucchinis (quarter zucchini, dip a finger in olive oil and run olive on top of zucchini- sprinkle with mccormick garlic salt and roast in toaster oven for 10 minutes on 425)
