Description
We made and re-made this recipe 3-4x to get it right. Finally, we arrived at this version which is as equally healthy as it is interesting to eat. For garlic-lovers, it's tops.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Put the oil in a shallow dish and add the chicken pieces; coat evenly with oil.
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C.
-
In a heavy 6-quart casserole, combine the celery, onions, parsley and tarragon. Lay the oiled chicken pieces on top. Pour the chicken broth on top. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Tuck the garlic cloves in and around the chicken pieces. Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil, then the lid. Bake for 45 minutes without removing the lid.
-
Serve chicken, pan juices and garlic cloves with Shirataki noodles (rice or pasta). Diners should squeeze the buds of garlic from their husks onto the Shirataki and spread it like butter.
