Ingredients:

10 cloves garlic, chopped
3 large boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size chunks (You can also use breasts)
1 tablespoon oil of cooking
5 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1⁄2 cup water
1 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons parsley for garnish

Additional Notes:

Chicken: You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. If you prefer bone-in chicken, adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure it’s thoroughly cooked.

Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves are highly recommended for maximum flavor. Mince or finely chop the garlic to release its aromatic oils.

Seasonings: Apart from garlic, you can add additional seasonings such as salt, black pepper, dried herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), or even a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.

Cooking Fat: Use a cooking fat with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for sautéing the chicken. This will prevent the garlic from burning and give the chicken a nice sear.

Sautéing the Chicken: Make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken. Sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side until it turns golden brown. This will help lock in the juices and enhance the flavor.

Deglazing the Pan: After sautéing the chicken, deglaze the pan with a liquid of your choice, such as chicken broth, white wine, or even water. This will help scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, adding extra flavor to the sauce.

Simmering Time: Once the chicken is cooked, let it simmer in the garlic-infused gravy for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures that the chicken absorbs the delicious garlic flavors.

Serving Suggestions: Serve the frugal garlic chicken over cooked rice, pasta, or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra touch of freshness.

Leftovers: This garlic chicken recipe is great for meal prep and leftovers. Store any remaining chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It can be reheated in the microwave or gently warmed in a skillet with a little extra sauce to keep it moist.

Experiment and Customize: Feel free to customize this recipe to your liking. You can add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make it your own!

Hey guys today we’re making up some Frugal smothered garlic pepper chicken just imagine rice or potatoes smothered with an incredible pepper garlic chicken because it doesn’t get any better let’s go ahead and mix them up so the first thing we’re gonna do is chop up 10 cloves of garlic now 10 cloves seems

Like a lot but after all it is one of the primary ingredients and it is garlic pepper chicken and although it is chopped you don’t want to chop it too fine because we are going to toast that garlic next up about a tablespoon of olive oil into a pan over medium-high

Heat then we are simply going to throw in those 10 cloves of garlic now here’s the trick we’re gonna stir and saute these over medium to medium low heat because we do not want these to burn we want them nice and toasty and brown this is going to take you somewhere in the

Neighborhood of about three to five minutes you know depending on your pain and the heat you have them on but this smells so good nothing better than the smell of garlic cutting and I see the count jumping out the door right now and after about four minutes or so just look

At this garlic beginning to toast absolutely beautifully so I am going to put these into a bowl and simply set them aside I must say we have completed step one and I am proud of myself alrighty then we’re gonna grab up about three boneless skinless chicken breasts

And I got these on sale I think they were about 10 bucks and we’re gonna slice them into manageable chunks not too big not too little it really depends on you but just remember the smaller the chunks are the faster they’ll fry okay into the same pan as that garlic with

About all I’d say two or three tablespoons of butter and we’re just going to slosh this around and boringly watch it melt down in with Mr Chicken and in this video I’m gonna spare you the chicken joke but if you do like them let me know Season it up with a dash of

Salt I’d say about a teaspoon depending how salty you like it now for the second star of the show Miss Mr pepper and you want to add a lot of this I think I’m gonna add about almost two or three teaspoons here because it is garlic pepper chicken another thing I should

Add guys is I am known as Mr Chicken because this is the chicken Channel well not really but we have tons of chicken recipes so check out our chicken playlist if you get a chance so we are going to stir and cook this chicken over medium-high heat for about all five

Minutes or so again depending on the size of your chicken until it is cooked through but this is smelling incredible guys now who knows it could be because of that toasted garlic sitting right beside me here okay as this fries up I still got to thinking I’m gonna add a

Little bit more peppery call me crazy call me whatever you like but it is pepper garlic chicken okay so our chicken is cooked up fairly nicely the odd Little Pink Spot in there but it is going to simmer away but the big thing is you do not want to overcook this

Chicken or it’ll be rubbery so I’m just going to put this in a bowl and set it aside next stop into that same pan with about a tablespoon or two of unsalted butter and of course just let this melt down then about three tablespoons or so of all-purpose flour grab up the old

Whisk and we’re just going to kind of whisk this around over medium-high heat until that flour begins to cook and we’re actually gonna Brown this up a little bit in with about a cup and a half of water but we are going to do this a little bit at a time because you

Know there is an art to making gravy after that gravy has begun to thicken and bubble a little bit we’re going to go in with the rest of the water but here’s the trick you’re gonna feel a drag on the Whisk the gravy is going to

Begin to feel heavy and that’s a matter of personal preference but the more you make it you’ll know what I mean but my gravy right now is just about perfect a teaspoon of soy sauce just for some extra darkness and a good Splash about a teaspoon of garlic powder and you’re

Gonna say what on Earth all that garlic but it is so good it has a bubble so so beautifully we’re going to continue to stir this but doesn’t this look rich in oh so so incredible guys I don’t know like the garlic I’m pretty proud of me

Grady you guessed it back him with that chicken and there is some liquid that developed in the bottom and of course you want that in the gravy as well then about half of that toasted garlic over top of the chicken and you only want to use half because we’re going to use the

Other half when we plate it get your spoon and a mixing we will go and I’m singing Because I’m Happy this dish is really really turning out beautifully well I do declare we’ve done did good guys and just check this out I mean who in their right mind is gonna say this is

Not delicious shame on you I am going to serve this over top of some rice but by all means as I said in the beginning of the video if you want to serve this over mashed taters just go ahead and do that and of course don’t forget lots of that

Ever so delicious gravy spooned over the top of the rice now here’s my figurine or personal ciphering about 10 bucks for the chicken maybe two or three bucks into the rest of the ingredients so say 12 bucks and it’ll serve three or four people so you know three maximum four

Bucks a serving that is a pretty good deal for this delicious dish you’re getting here and if you think I’m wrong go ahead and drop a comment in the comment section below and say you’re wrong Dave and I’ll say all right okay that’s fine as I’ve been yapping ever so

Childishly you notice I’ve been dropping some of that toasted garlic over top of the chicken as a garnish just so so good and then of course the beautify things a little bit of chopped parsley and now we have basically we completed our frugal’s smothered garlic chicken and doesn’t

This look incredible I know I keep saying this but it does look really good and believe me when you bite into this it is absolutely super that garlic is just not too powerful just about perfect and you got that pepper that kind of brightens up the dish and gives it some

Heat oh my goodness in that gravy thick rich and good over some rice or potatoes you are gonna love this it is simply a must make remember to check out our playlist and our other chicken videos and all videos for that matter and if you’re so inclined give us a like
