Cooking notes
Cut chicken into even pieces so it cooks consistently, and cook it through before serving.
Garlic cooks quickly; keep the heat moderate to avoid burning it and turning it bitter.
Taste at the end and adjust salt and pepper after the sauce has reduced.
Good to know
Serve it with a simple side that complements the main ingredients, such as a salad, cooked vegetables, bread or rice where appropriate.
This version is designed to take about 25 minutes from start to finish, depending on your equipment and ingredient preparation.
