I peeled my garlic by hand, but you could use garlic peeler or purchase the jar of peeled whole garlic from the grocery store.  For this recipe, you want to keep the garlic cloves whole.  The sink fills up pretty quickly when you’re peeling this much garlic! It smells nice now, but not so much in a couple of hours.

To keep my kitchen smelling fresh and clean, I used OdorKlenz Sink and Disposal Cleaner while the chicken was simmering.  It’s super easy and works amazing.  More on that in a minute…

• Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and let the chicken cook for 25-30 minutes until it is cooked through.
  
• To create the sauce, mix the milk and flour together in a small bow.  Pour into the hot pan and stir to combine.  Cook for a couple minutes until the sauce thickens.

How to use Leftover Chicken

There are lots of ways to use up the leftover chicken from this recipe.  Mr. Juggling Act takes it with leftover rice or noodles for his lunches at work.  If you’d rather transform it into something else, here are some ideas:

• Quick and easy Leftover Chicken Quesadillas from Gimme Delicious is the perfect recipe when you’re short on time.  Chop up your leftovers and you’ll have these quesadillas on the table in no time!

• Use the leftover chicken to make delicious Teriyaki Chicken Bowls from Bowl Me Over.  Just skip the marinating and make half the sauce mixture and you’re half done!
