Ingredients

for 2 servings

• 1 large chicken breast 
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 4 cloves garlic – chopped
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 1/3 cup dried parsley or twice as much chopped fresh parsley 
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

And here is how to easily cook up your Garlic Chicken

 First butterfly a large skinless, boneless chicken breast.  But, don’t stop for a “butterfly”. Slice it all the way through so that you wind up with two thin filets.. Or, you could just go with 4-6 chicken tenders. Put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper then place them in the skillet.

Cook for 2-4 minutes a side depending on the thickness. While the chicken is cooking chop up the garlic. When the chicken is firm to a finger poke or they read 165° on a meat thermometer they are done. Remove them to a plate that will catch the drippings.

Add the garlic to the pan and scrape the bits of chicken off the bottom with a wooden spoon.

As soon as the garlic starts to sizzle add the white wine, grated parmesan cheese and the parsley.

Stir it all together and let it come up to a simmer. Return the chicken and the drippings to the pan and turn them over a couple of times as they warm back up. Just a minute or so.

Put all of the liquids and garlic from the skillet on the chicken as a topping. Serve it with your favorite pasta and your favorite wine.  See those drippings? poppop’s no knead bread is great for dipping as you enjoy your Garlic Chicken with Parmesan Sauce.
