Tips and Tricks
To save time, you can use pre-minced garlic from the store instead of mincing garlic cloves yourself.You can use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.If you want to add more vegetables to the dish, you can roast some potatoes or carrots in the oven alongside the chicken.Make sure to whisk the flour into the sauce thoroughly to prevent lumps from forming.
