Garlic Sauce Chicken: the dish that sits at the top of the list of our favorite chicken recipes, for now and for forever. Amen.
Hi ya, friends! Happy Happy Sunday to you all! <3 Hope that this saucy chicken finds you well!
This recipe was originally published on December 14, 2014, and updated with new photos and content on September 3, 2017.
We had some wonderful dinner guests couple of weeks ago and I fed them this amazingness called garlic sauce chicken plus cake, and it reminded me to update it here and share it with you all, once again. Trust me, you can’t go wrong with any of that. It’s a pretty damn good recipe.
I also served some of those Feta Cheese Covered Olives, Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza, aaaaand Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls. We LOVED all of it!
This dish though… Oddly enough, I only serve it when we have company. That’s not to say that it’s hard to make. In fact, it’s very easy to make, however, if you want to make an impression, you gotta serve it to yo’ friends!
OR, serve them this Garlic Yogurt Baked Chicken, which is also ah.may.zing!
Which brings me to my next point. If you are looking to wow some friends and family, or even serve something different, THIS is it! YES, IT is! Would I lie to YOU? No.
Feel free to use more garlic if you want, but not less than what I’ve recommended. Also, bring out the best white wine that you got because this chicken is all about the garlic and the wine. They go hand in hand. It’s like garlic-infused-wine-chicken-something. It’s delicious. That’s all we need to know.
Have a great rest of this beautiful Sunday!
XO
ENJOY!

ROAST CHICKEN STUFFED WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY CREAM CHEESE
This recipe was a big hit with my family. Especially the sauce, even my picky niece had a whole piece of chicken & ate all her mashed potatoes with the sauce on top (she doesn’t like potatoes!).
I made a few minor changes by adding a few more ingredients & some butter, but otherwise I made it almost exactly as the recipe calls for. LOVED it. Served with a side of mashed potatoes & green beans. Chicken was perfectly juicy & the sauce was an amazing consistency. Tasted delicious & went great with the mashed I made too. You might think the amount of garlic used would be over powering but it was perfect, my in law even said she’d enjoy it with some more but my family loves garlic.
Would definitely make this again & again, added right to my saved recipes. & I’ll be recommending it to others. Thanks for the great meal!
That’s wonderful! I’m very happy you and your family enjoyed this recipe! Thank YOU! 🙂
So strange, has very little flavor. Not sure what I did wrong. It was very easy though
Add more salt.
Delicious! I added 1/2 cup of bone broth along with the wine, added mushrooms and onions, a couple tablespoons of butter at the end and put it under the broiler for about 3 minutes. I also added steamed brussel sprouts to the sauce the last few minutes. A definite keeper!
I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
I cooked this tonight and I noticed that I did not have a lot of garlic sauce. I changed the serving size to 6 since I had 6 chicken breasts and I used 1.5 cups of white wine per the instructions. How do I get more garlic sauce next time? I would love to put the chicken over pasta and have the sauce dripping.
So delicious! Well seasoned, juicy chicken, flavorful and satisfying. Perfect in every way! Thank you for another fantastic recipe 🙂
What can I use in place of the wine?
Hi! You can use chicken broth or apple juice. 🙂
I have never cooked with wine nor do i drink wine. However, i am very interested in trying it. What wine would you recommend?
For cooking, I always go with Pinot Grigio 😀
No lie! PINOT GRIGIO is the appointed white!
After cooking how much alcohol content still remains?
Thank you Katerina !!❤️ Making it now and it smells heavenly!!

Thanks, Katera!! That’s a BEAUTIFUL name! 😍 Hope you enjoyed your dinner. 😊
This Garlic Sauce Chicken looks and sounds incredible! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I ran across this, plus many many more amazing recipes that you have on your Blog!! I can’t wait to try all of them 🙂 Did you use boneless skinless Thighs?
How many servings is this?
Boy, this was good. I made it with drumsticks, which were on sale today, so they took longer to cook. The sauce was terrific–so simple, just a few ingredients, but amazing! My husband, a/k/a Mr.Fussy, rated this very highly, and that is a true compliment. Definitely going on my favorites list, and I’m linking got it on my (new) blog’s FB page. A winner, Katerina!
PS–The sauce was so good I literally licked the plate. Well, not quite; I ran my fingers over the plate and licked them. Not very good manners, but no one was watching. So I suggest serving with a crusty bread or mashed potatoes or rice to soak up all that goodness.
