Garlic Chicken
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp pepper
4 chicken breasts, skinned
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 heads garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp dried thyme
In plastic bag, combine flour and half of the pepper; add chicken and shake to coat. In Dutch oven, heat oil over medium high heat; brown chicken. Transfer to plate.
Add garlic and any remaining flour to pan, cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add stock, apple juice, thyme and remaining pepper; bring to boil, scraping up brown bits. Simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan; cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until no longer pink inside and garlic is very tender.
We like to serve this with mashed potatoes. It is fast and delicious.
