    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and pat the chicken dry, then cut it into smaller pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves whole and cook until golden brown, being careful not to burn them. Remove the garlic cloves from the skillet and set aside.

    3

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook on all sides until golden brown (about 10 minutes).

    4

    Return the browned garlic cloves to the skillet, then pour in the white wine. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, letting the chicken absorb the flavors.

    5

    Sprinkle the chicken with fresh rosemary, then cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.

    6

    Before serving, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve with slices of fresh bread or steamed vegetables.
