Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the garlic and cut them into thin slices. If you don't like strong garlic, you can remove the central germ with a knife, as it intensifies the flavor.

2. 2

   Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, season the chicken fillets to our liking.

4. 4

   When the oil is hot, add the garlic and brown it for a few seconds. It is important not to let them burn, as they would bitter the dish.

5. 5

   Next, place the chicken fillets in the pan and cook them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and well cooked. If the fillets are very thick, we can cover the pan so that they also cook inside.

6. 6

   This step is optional, but if you want you can now add the white wine to the pan and let it cook for 1-2 minutes more or until the alcohol evaporates.

7. 7

   Once ready, remove the chicken fillets from the pan and place them on a plate. If you want, you can chop some fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top.

8. 8

   To finish, pour the garlic and olive oil from the pan over the chicken fillets, and voila! We have our delicious garlic chicken fillets.
