About this recipe

Chicken with garlic is a dish that reminds me of my childhood. My grandmother, an exceptional cook, prepared it frequently, and the aroma of confit garlic flooded the whole house. It was a simple dish, but full of flavor, and I will always associate it with happy family moments. This version with Thermomix® makes preparation much easier, while maintaining the essence of traditional flavor. Chicken breasts, cut into tacos, are the basis of this dish. It is important that they are of good quality, preferably free-range chicken, as their flavor is more intense. Wheat flour, although in small quantities, plays a crucial role, as it creates a light golden crust when frying the chicken, providing a crunchy texture that contrasts with the juiciness of the interior. Garlic, the star ingredient, is slowly confited in extra virgin olive oil, which softens its spicy flavor and gives it a creamy texture. Chopped parsley, fresh and aromatic, adds a touch of freshness and color to the dish. White wine, dry and fruity, deglazes the bottom of the pan (in this case, the Thermomix® bowl) and adds an acidic note that balances the richness of the garlic and oil. Salt and pepper, of course, are essential to enhance all the flavors. When preparing this dish with Thermomix®, it is essential to follow the indicated times and temperatures to obtain the desired result. When confiting the garlic, make sure they are completely covered in oil so that they cook evenly. When browning the chicken, do not pile it up in the bowl, as this would make it difficult to brown properly. If necessary, do it in two batches. When adding the white wine, watch carefully until the alcohol evaporates, as this will prevent the dish from having a bitter taste. The reverse turn is crucial to prevent the chicken from falling apart during cooking. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can substitute the chicken with seitan or firm tofu, cut into tacos. You can also add sliced mushrooms to give it more flavor and texture. For a different touch, you can add a pinch of sweet or spicy paprika to the chicken before flouring it. You can also add a few bay leaves to the oil when confiting the garlic to flavor it even more. This dish is perfect to accompany with a fresh salad, some steamed potatoes, white rice or even some grilled vegetables. You can also serve it with crusty bread to dip in the delicious garlic and white wine sauce. If you have leftover chicken with garlic, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2-3 days. To reheat it, you can heat it in a pan over low heat or in the microwave. You can also prepare the chicken with garlic in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. In this case, I recommend adding the chopped parsley just before serving so that it retains its freshness.
