With a recipe chock full of garlic – 40 cloves to be exact – plus onions, you expect there to be some lingering odors in your kitchen, right?  I’m going to show you how to make this amazing recipe, and how to deodorize your garbage disposal, too.  We all want our home to smell fresh, warm and inviting, right?  After all, Clean has NO Odor!

But first, let’s chat about our 40 Clove Garlic Chicken recipe a bit.  This is such a flavorful dish!  The garlic sauce is creamy and the chicken so tender and moist.  It’s just so yummy!

40 Clove Garlic Chicken Shopping List

Here’s what you’ll need to make the recipe:

  • chicken thighs
  • unsalted butter

I peeled my garlic by hand, but you could use [amazon_textlink asin=’B01KV9T4O2′ text=’garlic peeler’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’jugactmam-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’6799dd82-bccb-11e8-9aac-7fa8f6f16d4c’] 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…

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced fine
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 40 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the onions and let cook until they are tender.  Push them to the outside edges of the pan.
  • Turn the temperature up to medium-high and sear both sides of the chicken for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan for the moment.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the whole peeled garlic cloves.  Cook until golden brown and tender, stirring often.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and add the chicken stock. Sprinkle the tarragon into the pan, then bring to a boil.
  • 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.
  • Serve hot with pasta, rice or potatoes, if desired.

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!
  • Instead of pork, use this leftover chicken to make our Lettuce Wraps.  Give the chicken a rough chop, add the soy sauce mixture and heat through.  Assemble your wraps and dinner is served.
  • 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!

How to Clean and Deodorize your Garbage Disposal

I’m all about multi-tasking and taking shortcuts that make sense.  That’s why I like using this OdorKlenz Sink and Disposal Cleaner to clean my sink and garbage disposal while I’m working on dinner.  No scrubbing or disassembling the disposal to clean it.  Here’s how to use it:

  1. First, make sure the disposal is empty before you begin.
  2. Pour 1/3 cup of OdorKlenz Sink and Disposal Cleaner down the disposal and left sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Run the water and the disposal for 1-2 minutes to finish deodorizing.
  4. Repeat once a week or as needed to keep your kitchen smelling fresh.

Think of all the things you pour down your sink whether you’re emptying sippy cups and cereal bowls or changing your pet’s water dish.  Yuck, right? You can also this product to deodorize sinks without a disposal.  It works great to get rid of stale water smells in your bathroom, too.

    This meal sounds so flavorful and delicious and you’re right, it’s hard to think that the house wouldn’t need a little refresh with all of that garlic. Thanks for recommending a product you know and trust.

    This sounds delish and that OdorKlenz sounds great! Going to have to give that a try because our garbage disposal needs it!
