Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic Recipe

Don’t be scared of this dish—when garlic cooks, it softens and mellows and is perfect for spreading on French bread. This recipe is a take on James Beard’s classic dish. We’ve added cherry tomatoes and substituted basil and mint for the traditional tarragon. Serve with butternut squash or sweet potatoes.

Ingredients
2½ cups sliced leeks or onion
¼ cup each chopped fresh basil and mint
4 chicken leg quarters
1 cup dry white wine
1½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
40 unpeeled garlic cloves (about 4 heads)
25 whole cherry tomatoes
Sprigs of basil
French bread (optional)

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Combine leeks, basil and mint in a 4-quart casserole. Arrange chicken over leek mixture. Drizzle with wine; sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. Cover casserole with aluminum foil and casserole lid. Bake 1 hour. Add cherry tomatoes and bake 1 hour longer. Garnish with basil sprigs and serve with French bread. Serves 6.
