How to cook chicken with olive oil and garlic?

I had some really good chicken awhile ago and I think the only ingredients were olive oil and garlic. How should I use these ingredients to make a simple chicken dish?How to cook chicken with olive oil and garlic?
You could try chicken kiev. It's one of, if not the best chicken dishes I have eaten and I've eaten a lot. So delicious.





It's chicken breast stuffed with garlic butter. It's not olive oil and it's more fattening but it tastes a whole lot better.





If you want something easy, heat a few tablespoons olive oil in a pan with a few garlic cloves. Heat very gently or the garlic will burn. This will infuse the garlic flavour into the oil. Remove garlic after 5 minutes and turn the heat to moderate. Add seasoned skinless chicken breast or thighs and cook. Salt, pepper and thyme will work.





You can also buy garlic oil if you want to save time. It's probably costly though. Mine was, but it tastes amazing.How to cook chicken with olive oil and garlic?
CHICKEN WITH OLIVE OIL %26amp; GARLIC





1 (2 1/2 - 3 lb.) fryer, cut up


1/2 c. olive oil


6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped


Juice of 1 lemon


Salt %26amp; pepper to taste


3 tbsp. parsley, chopped





Wash chicken and pat dry.





Pour olive oil in a 9';x12'; pan.





Place chicken pieces in pan and turn to coat oil on all sides.





Sprinkle salt and pepper on chicken.





Sprinkle garlic, parsley and lemon juice over all.





Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
Put olive oil in a saute pan. Add salt and pepper to chicken. Once the oil is warm, add chopped garlic and the chicken. Let the chicken brown on both sides and continue to cook until the chicken is completely done. Be sure to not brown garlic, because it gets bitter. You could serve the chicken and the sauce over some pasta. A fresh squeeze of lemon might be good, as well.





You could also try adding oil and garlic to a baking dish and bake the chicken.
There is a recipe called 40 clove chicken that I want to adapt. It uses 40 cloves of garlic in a clay cooker. I usually just braise my chicken in olive oil and add a teaspoon of garlic or so.
