My Supposedly International Adventure




This was supposed to be our dinner meal for the night, however, we were planning to go out, so I figured I'd make this for a late-brunch, early-dinner type thing. It tasted delicious, although it took some patience and time. I had some spinach left over, so I just laid some on each plate, and made a quick honey dijon-vinaigrette. If you have the time, this is sure to get everyone running to the dinner table faster than you can say "Mamma mia!"

Spanish Chicken with Garlic

Ingredients:
-2-3 tbsp all-purpose flour
-A boneless, skinless chicken breast for each person
-4 tbsp olive oil
-8 garlic cloves, halved and green core removed
-1 bay leaf
-2 cups chicken broth
-4 tbsp dry, white wine
-chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
-salt and pepper

Directions:
-put 2 tbsp of flour in a bad, along with salt and pepper
-add a chicken piece in the bag and shake until lightly coated
-shake off any excess, and repeat with the other pieces (you may need to add seasoning)
-heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet, and add garlic
-fry for about 2 minutes while stirring, in order to flavour the oil, and then remove the garlic (don't throw it away!!)
-add chicken to skillet and fry for 5 minutes
-flip to the other side, and fry for another 5 minutes
-return the garlic to the skillet, and add the bay leaf, chicken broth, wine and bring the mixture to a boil
-lower heat, cover and simmer for about 1 hour
-take out the chicken and arrange on plates
-bring the remaining liquid to a boil until it's reduced to just 1 cup
-spoon that sauce over the chicken, along with the garlic
-garnish with fresh parsley
-serve!
