Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, white wine, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Sear the chicken pieces in the skillet until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Marinade and Simmer

    Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
