This recipe comes from a little book that I bought at Raley's. The recipe is also small enough for a couple, it gives Floyd and I two meals and a snack. If you haven't tried Garlic Chicken, it's a MUST. The market is opening tomorrow, and we might find garlic - if not tomorrow, very soon! Serve with fresh salad mixes from the market, and some great Artisan Bread.
