One-Pot Garlic Chicken

by BBC Good Food

Save on the washing-up with this easy one-pot garlic chicken. Creamy and comforting, you can adjust the amount of garlic to suit your own tastes.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Tip the chicken into a shallow bowl and sprinkle over the flour. Season well. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken, shaking off any excess flour first, for 1-2 mins until lightly golden all over. (You may need to do this in batches.)

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Peel as many garlic cloves as you prefer, and drop these into the pan. Cook for 5 mins until the garlic has turned lightly golden, stirring to keep the chicken from burning.

Step 3

Pour in the hot stock and simmer for 10 mins until the garlic is tender. Add the cream and cheese and simmer for a further 5 mins until the sauce thickens slightly. Cook the green beans in boiling salted water now, if using. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender, drain and drizzle with a little oil.

Step 4

Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust as needed. Scatter with the chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot with rice (heated according to the packet instructions) and green beans, if you like.
