My husband loves garlic, the reason why this is a perfect lunch or dinner meal for him and for me too.
On this recipe, I used skinless and boneless chicken thighs. We try to cut down our fat consumption. But this recipe will be best with skin-on. It will leave a thin crispy skin which is good to eat by itself.
