- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken pieces on the bone skin removed
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon flour I used white whole wheat
- 3/4 cup milk low-fat
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley fresh, chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme fresh

Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned on one side, turn over pieces and add lemon slices on top. Continue cooking chicken until browned on the other side and cooked through. Remove chicken and lemon slices from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the garlic and flour and stir until bubbly. Add the milk, lemon juice, parsley and thyme, and bring to a boil, whisking continuously. Turn the heat down and simmer over low for 5 minutes or until thickened.

What is the circular item with sections in the center left of the photo? A lemon slice?
Hi Richard, That is a whole garlic bulb with the top sliced off to expose the inner cloves and release the flavor. There's a lemon slice in the far right corner.
Thanks!
How do you end up with an entire head of garlic when the recipe calls for three cloves?
