Garlic not only tastes wonderful, but it also has many other potential health benefits.


Some of its potential benefits include:

  • May support heart health: Garlic may help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and can modestly reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.

  • Rich in antioxidants: It contains sulfur compounds, including allicin, which have antioxidant properties that may help protect cells from oxidative damage.

  • May support the immune system: Some studies suggest regular garlic consumption may reduce the frequency or duration of common colds, although the evidence is mixed.

  • May help regulate blood sugar: Garlic may slightly improve blood sugar control, but it should not replace prescribed diabetes treatment.

  • Has antimicrobial properties: Garlic can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, fungi, and viruses in laboratory studies, though eating garlic is not a substitute for medical treatment of infections.

  • Provides nutrients: Garlic contains small amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese, selenium, and fiber.


I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. I've been making it since 2017, and it gets better every time.


INGREDIENTS


1 Tablespoon olive or avocado oil

4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 6 ounces each)

1 Medium onion sliced (I use sweet onion)

20 Cloves of garlic, (I used about 3 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic from a jar, but the health benefits are better if you chop your own garlic and let it sit to activate the allicin)

1 Teaspoon dry Thyme

2 Tablespoons almond flour

1 Cup chicken broth (I use Better than Boullion)

1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese grated (for Lactose free you can use Nutritional Yeast)

Salt and Pepper to taste



DIRECTIONS


  1. Heat oil on medium to high heat (I used a cast iron pan). Add chicken seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper. Brown 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Removed from pan and set aside.

  2. Add onion and garlic. Sauté 3 to5 minutes

  3. Sprinkle in the Thyme and flour. Cook 1 minute then add the broth and mix with the bits in the pan.

  4. Mix in cheese and add more salt and pepper to taste

  5. Add the chicken back in, cover and simmer 15 minutes on medium to low heat


Simple doesn’t mean lacking. When we choose real ingredients like garlic, herbs, and quality protein, we create meals that are both flavorful and supportive of better health.
