My First Food Post :-)

Garlic chicken for my 2 little valentines

Mommy's tip:
I usually cook chicken with a little salt and put it in freezer and when I need to make something I just put it in microwave & its ready for me. Saves lots of cutting & cooking time.

½ ts oil
1 cup chicken
1 ts Mayo
1 ts garlic power
salt & black pepper
(pinch of thyme, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes,mint-OPTIONAL)

Put oil, 1 serving spoon water & chicken in a pan. Keep tossing the chicken until it changes color. Let it cook for 5-6 minutes in the steam over high flame & another 5-6 minutes with lid open until the water is almost gone. Mix the rest of ingredients in a bowl & put chicken in it. Use more garlic power if you want. Mayo should be enough since there is already some water in the chicken and roast it in the oven until golden brown:-)

This recipe is kid friendly & since its very moist, you can serve with rice too. I usually mix it with some rice & use some thin mayo as a sauce. They love it:-) It could be great party appetizer.
