Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, cooking oil, black pepper powder, salt, soy sauce, tomato sauce, Kashmiri red chili powder, crushed dried red chilies, oregano, and white vinegar.
- Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat additional cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.
- Add 1 tbsp of butter during the last minute of cooking to enhance the flavor and give the chicken a nice golden brown finish. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a separate pan, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
- Add the boiled carrot slices, broccoli, French beans, and potato wedges. Season with salt and black pepper powder.
- Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes until they are heated through and slightly golden. Add the tomato slices at the end, cooking for just a minute to keep them fresh.
4. Make the White Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, black pepper powder, chili flakes, and oregano.
5. Assemble the Dish:
- Place the cooked chicken steaks on a serving plate.
- Pour the creamy white garlic sauce generously over the chicken.
- Arrange the sautéed vegetables around the chicken for a beautiful presentation.
Cooking Tips:
- Marinating Time: For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Cooking Chicken: Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Sauce Consistency: Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more milk if it becomes too thick or simmering it longer if it’s too thin.
Storage Tips:
- Refrigeration: Store leftover chicken, vegetables, and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat the chicken and sauce gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a splash of milk to the sauce if it thickens too much when refrigerated.
