Fail Proof One-Pan Garlic Chicken

This is a very simple recipe for garlic chicken to prepare. Make it a delicious meal to wow the family and friends, or use it as a nice meal prep for the week.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2lbs chicken thighs 
• 1 large white onion
• 10 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 cup safflower oil (canola)
• 2 sprigs of rosemary 
• 1/2 Tbsp picked or dried thyme
• 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 Tbsp kosher salt
• 2 Tbsp ground black pepper

Okay, so first things first. Mix your salt and pepper, then rub it thoroughly into your chicken thighs. Then set them aside to rest while getting your Mise en place set up. 

At this point, you will want to julienne your onion, peel your garlic, and measure all of your other ingredients.

Now, place a large pan onto the stove and add your oil. Set to a medium heat and wait until the pan is fully heated. Now add the chicken thighs skin side down. Make sure not to place them too close together or they will not sear or brown properly.

Let them cook for about four minutes or until nicely browned before turning them over. Cook for another four to five minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and place onto a plate using tongs.

Now reduce the heat to a low to medium heat. (About a 3 out of 10 if there are numbers on the dials to your stovetop) Add your onions after a couple of minutes.

Stir onions for about two minutes and then add garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme. Continue stirring for about a minute. Make sure that nothing gets too browned.

Add the white wine to deglaze. Stir for about thirty seconds and then add the chicken thighs back to the pan. Now add the vegetable broth. 

Let this simmer for about five minutes and then cover with a top. 

Leave on heat and covered for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.

Now remove the lid and, using tongs or a fish spatula, take the chicken out and place on a plate to serve. Continue cooking the sauce in the pan for another 5 minutes on high heat. 

Remove sauce from heat and spoon over the top of the chicken. And that’s all. I hope that you enjoy this meal and check out some of my other dishes too. A good bread (link to my whole wheat bread recipe) is also a great choice for soaking up all of those juices or simply making a sandwich.

This is an easy recipe that goes with almost anything you can think of to serve with it. Enjoy!
