Hi everyone…
It’s been nice not to have the pressure of making something every night to impress… So when I feel like it I make something special. I went through my recipe box to find some old favorites and decided it would be fun to have garlic breath for a few days. We never go anywhere so I wasn’t worried about offending anyone. I got this recipe from a friend I had many years ago when we lived at the Lazy Shamrock Ranch in Heeney, CO. (the good ole days).
40 CLOVE GARLIC CHICKEN
1 chicken cut up or pieces (I use skinned thighs bone in)
40 cloves peeled garlic (unlike when I first made this you can buy garlic already peeled now)
3/4 chicken stock
1/4 cup olive oil
4 stalks chopped celery
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons dried parsley
juice of one lemon
salt & pepper to taste
French bread
Rice
Place chicken in shallow baking dish. Sprinkle all ingredients over chicken. Cut lemon rinds and place on chicken.
Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake another 30 minutes.
Serve with rice.
Spread soft garlic on french bread.
My notes: Except for the chicken, celery and garlic I double all the ingredients so we can have lots of juice for the rice and bread. I’ve also used fresh herbs… either is fine. Add a vegetable of your choice. This is one of our family favorites! The picture below is not mine…
