Garlic Chicken | Pui cu Usturoi


Ingredients:
 - 2 boneless chicken breasts
 - 1 head of garlic
 - 1 cup of parsley
 - Spices: salt, pepper, chili pepper
 - Cooking oil

Preparation:
 - Cut the chicken breasts into cubes or slices.
 - Peel the garlic, and chop it finely.
 - Put a bit of cooking oil in a pan.  Add the chicken.  Place the garlic on top of the chicken (we don't want it to cook yet).
 - Cook on medium heat until the chicken turns white.
 - Turn the heat to high, and stir (we want to start cooking the garlic as well).  Add spices: salt, pepper, and chili pepper.
 - Cook on high heat until we get some spots of nice brownish color on the chicken pieces.
 - Remove the garlic chicken from the cooking pan.
 - Mix with the chopped parsley, and serve.

Presentation:
 - The recipe has a limited range of colors: the green of the parsley, and the white/brown of the chicken.  Enlarge this range with different add-ons.  For example, we placed the recipe on a bed of mango pieces, and we used strips of heirloom carrots to add accents of red and purple.
