Notes

  • Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs.
  • You can use any neutral oil in place of the olive oil, or use unsalted butter.
  • Feel free to swap out the herbs for your favorites, such as parsley, sage, marjoram, or tarragon.
  • You can use additional chicken broth in place of the white wine.
  • Don't skip searing the chicken. The browning adds a lot of flavor to the final dish!
Storage: Store 40 clove garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
