CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and roast until the cloves are golden brown and very soft, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
• Unwrap the roasted garlic and pour any garlic-flavored oil from the foil into a small bowl. Squeeze the roasted cloves into the same bowl, discarding the papery shells. Mash with a fork until smooth; set aside.

LOVERS' CHICKEN (A TAKE ON CHICKEN PICCATA)

Steps:

• Beat the eggs together in a shallow dish. Put the breadcrumbs into a separate shallow dish.
• If necessary, trim the chicken breasts and butterfly them if they are very thick.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a deep nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip the chicken cutlets in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs, making sure they are fully coated.
• When the oil is hot, cook the chicken pieces just until they are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon oil as needed. You do not want to cook the chicken all the way through at this point, just create a nice crust on the outside. Once the chicken cutlets are browned, place them on a plate and set aside.
• Put the butter in the same skillet you cooked the chicken in and melt over medium-low heat (do not clean the pan first). When the butter melts, add the shallots, garlic and some black pepper and cook until they soften and get slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet with the shallot mixture.
• Put 1 1/2 cups hot water in a liquid measuring cup and stir in the chicken bouillon until dissolved. Pour the bouillon over the chicken, then add the lemon juice. Sprinkle with half of the parsley and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
• Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer on medium-low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You want the chicken to stew in the liquid until it breaks apart easily with a fork--no knives needed!
• Remove the lid and simmer the liquid until it thickened and reduced by about half, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste the sauce and season with salt and black pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.
