This recipe is a wonder!<br/>I prepared this dish for 8 people and for this reason I doubled the quantities and I cooked this in the oven.<br/>I performed the steps 4-6 in ones with little grill.<br/>I added all the ingredients together (previous mixed in a bowl) excepting the cream. I cooked covered at 140°C until my guest came. 10 Minutes before serving I added the cream and a half cup more wine and I increased the heat to 180°C (cooking covered).<br/>Instead of normal flour I used roasted flour that I prepare in advance in a pan.<br/>This was really delicious and juicy. I will do this again, for sure!

Very good, although I found the flavor to be a bit strong between the garlic and the white wine. Maybe next time I will use 3/4 cup chicken stock and 3/4 cup white wine just to tone down the flavor a bit. Otherwise, great recipe and really flavorful, tender chicken. I would try this recipe with pork chops also.

Garlic lovers unite...what an awesome recipe!!<br/>I used boneless,skinless breasts and they came beautifully tender and moist.The sauce was decadent and wonderfully garlicky after I squished some of the cloves into it.<br/>This made for a beautiful meal...easy enough for everyday,and impressive enough to serve to company...we loved it.<br/>Made for PRMR.

OMG - this was absolutely fabulous! I used 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, so I cooked it for a little less time. The chicken was very tender and the sauce was delicious. I took the suggestion of spreading the garlic on bread and it was awesome. I am not a fan of thyme, so I substituted oregano. Delicious!
