You won't want to miss a bit of the wonderfully aromatic sauce, so serve either the Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes or plenty of French bread to catch every drop. Round out the menu with buttered carrots, a spinach and toasted walnut salad with walnut oil vinaigrette, and mocha layer cake for dessert.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

2 boneless chicken breast halves with skin
1 1/4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole head garlic, separated into cloves (about 15), unpeeled
1/2 cup dry white wine

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle chicken with sage, salt and pepper. Heat oil in medium oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, boil garlic cloves in small saucepan of water for 2 minutes; drain. Rinse under cold water to cool; peel.

    Step 3

    Arrange garlic cloves around chicken in skillet. Pour wine over. Cover skillet; bake chicken and garlic 10 minutes. Uncover; baste chicken with pan juices. Bake chicken uncovered until cooked through, about 8 minutes longer. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plates.

    Step 4

    Boil pan juices over high heat until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon garlic sauce over chicken.
