Instructions
Garlic confit
- Preheat the oven to 120°C / 250°F.

Garlic parmesan chicken
- Begin by cutting the chicken in half lengthways to create 4 thin steaks. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- In a large fry pan, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for 2 – 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan.
- In the same pan, add the butter. Once melted, add the garlic confit and stir. Add white wine and scrape up the browned bits. Stir in the parmesan and sour cream until emulsified.
- Add the chicken back to the pan with its juices and heat through for 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately for the best texture. Don't rush the sear; allow a golden crust to form for flavor. Deglaze the pan properly for a rich sauce, and simmer gently after adding sour cream while whisking. Use freshly grated parmesan.
