Expert Tips
To perfect your indulgent meal, make sure the chicken is cooked through but still juicy; avoid overcooking to keep it tender. Use fresh garlic for a strong aroma and flavor, but if you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer, or add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in water.
Want to make ahead? Prepare the chicken and sauce separately and combine just before serving to keep flavors fresh. You can easily double this recipe when feeding a crowd.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating slowly on the stovetop or microwave.
