Garlic Chicken | Pui cu Usturoi
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 cup of parsley
- Spices: salt, pepper, chili pepper
- Cooking oil
Preparation:
- Cut the chicken breasts into cubes or slices.
- Peel the garlic, and chop it finely.
- Put a bit of cooking oil in a pan. Add the chicken. Place the garlic on top of the chicken (we don't want it to cook yet).
- Cook on medium heat until the chicken turns white.
- Turn the heat to high, and stir (we want to start cooking the garlic as well). Add spices: salt, pepper, and chili pepper.
- Cook on high heat until we get some spots of nice brownish color on the chicken pieces.
- Remove the garlic chicken from the cooking pan.
- Mix with the chopped parsley, and serve.
Presentation:
- The recipe has a limited range of colors: the green of the parsley, and the white/brown of the chicken. Enlarge this range with different add-ons. For example, we placed the recipe on a bed of mango pieces, and we used strips of heirloom carrots to add accents of red and purple.
About author
I cook to relax, to make family and friends happy, to recreate favorite dishes I've enjoyed in the past, or to discover new concoctions. I use my creativity to prepare authentic Romanian and Eastern-European dishes with ingredients easily found in grocery stores outside of this geographic area. I put emphasis on flavor and ease of preparation. I find joy in knowing that others have a chance to try out some of these recipes. I'd love to hear back your thoughts on my posts: my email is liviutzu@gmail.com. Don't be a stranger. :)
