Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 skin-on, boneless chicken breasts (about 11/2 pounds)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 heads garlic
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 slices sourdough bread, grilled or toasted
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin-side down, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Separate the heads of garlic into cloves but do not peel. Flip the chicken; add the garlic and rosemary to the skillet and transfer to the oven. Roast until the chicken is cooked through but still moist, 15 to 20 more minutes.
Place the bread on a platter and top each slice with a chicken breast. Add the vinegar to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add 3 tablespoons water and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour the sauce and garlic over the chicken and bread.
Tip: You can squeeze the garlic out of its skin and spread on the chicken or bread.

This turned out to be a quite elegant dish, and bonus...was very simple to make! I followed the recipe exactly except for substituting white wine for the vinegar and I had some rosemary, olive oil sourdough bread on hand....perfect! The roasted garlic spread all over the moist chicken and crusty bread that was saturated in the bright sauce was just lovely. Truly acceptable for company but simple enough for a quick weeknight meal.

My husband and I (and our dinner guests LOVE this recipe! Spreading the roasted garlic on the toasts before putting on the chicken makes it even better.
