Chicken with Lots of Garlic

Ingredients 1 3-3.5 Lb. Chicken, cut in 8 pieces 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/4 Cup All-purpose Flour 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 20 Cloves Garlic 1/2 Cup Dry White Wine 3/4 Cup Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions 1. Pat Chicken dry and sprinkle with pepper and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.. 2. Heat oil in 12" heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown chicken in two batches, turning over once, about 5 minutes total per batch. Transfer to a plate. 3. Add garlic to skillet and cook, stirring, until just golden, about 2 minutes. Add wine and boil 1 minute. Add broth, then cover skillet and simmer until garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Return chicken, skin side up, to skillet and simmer, covered, until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter. Mash 8 garlic cloves into sauce with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with parsley. Spoon sauce and garlic over chicken.

Description Ah, the way the house smells from all this garlic.

Notes A delightful dish without a great number of calories, it served very nicely with noodles. I think that boneless chicken breasts could be substituted if you prefer that to the whole chicken. Boneless breasts, cut into pieces, would make a great buffet dish.
