Cooking of chicken
The chicken is first fried separately in a pan in oil to make it change its color. The chicken should not be overcooked or over-fried. You just have to cook it for a few minutes and then take it out of the pan.
Making the sauce
The garlic sauce is made in the skillet by adding flour and pouring the broth into the garlic. The cream is also added and then the mixture is simmered for some time so that it will be thickened to turn into a sauce. The sauce will be delicious in the final step.
Combining the Chicken and the Sauce
The chicken is then mixed into the sauce. It is stirred into the sauce and then simmered for a few seconds. Then turn off the heat and transfer the whole sauce and chicken mixture to the baking pan.
