Directions
Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic and Creamy Thyme Sauce, From Cooking Light The recipe calls for 1 cup frozen seasoning blend, which I am sure is a great convenience if you have it, but I chose to enter it with the components (onion, bell pepper, celery and parsley), as I felt more people would have that readily available I buy peeled garlic cloves at the market, which is an enormous time-saver , The 18-mo -old couldn’t get enough chicken! We all agreed that the chicken was perfectly and deliciously cooked, and we all loved the sauce We observed a moment of silence for the 35 cloves of garlic reduced to charcoal briquettes So plans are afoot to reproduce this recipe but produce luscious roasted garlic We thought the cavity filling was very good, so we will fix the one part that didn’t please the 3 Garlic fanatics (not counting the 18-mo-old who couldn’t vocalize her opinion) Oh, please include the fresh thyme in the directions, would be a pity to omit it after purchasing (and why not use it for the cavity?)
