Ingredients
Instructions
Peel the carrot and slice (not so thinly.) Then cut the chicken into pieces and grate or chop the garlic.
Put the carrot in a pot with boiling water for 6-8 minutes. Once soft, remove and drain.
Heat the oil in a pot and, once heated, add the chicken, salt and pepper.
Cook each side over medium heat for 4 minutes and remove.
Then put the butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and stir-fry for some seconds.
Add the milk, salt and pepper and let cook for 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat until the volume is reduced. Turn off.
If you want, you can add a pinch of paprika or thyme.
Once ready, season to taste and serve the chicken with the carrot and the sauce on top.
