Assault With A Deadly Breath Garlic Chicken
My husband brought his variation of this dish from the netherlands and while i admit to loving garlic, i was a bit hesitant (before i tried it) about loving so much garlic. As many of you know and i soon found out, the sharpness of raw garlic softens considerably into a sweet, creamy loveliness that can't be beat. I started eating this dish with a tiny smidgen of garlic with each bite of chicken and i've since graduated to about 1 clove per bite. Make sure everyone you plan to meet in the next three days also eats it or you could be jailed for assault with a deadly breath.
