- Spread flour onto large dinner plate (Photo 1)
- Coat both sides of the chicken in the flour (dredging) (Photo 2)
- Use a knife and chopping board to finely slice garlic (Photo 3)
- Add olive oil to pan at a medium heat (Photo 4)
I use a french pan on a gas stove top to cook this recipe
Once olive oil is a little warm (hold your palm above the pan to get a sense of the heat) , use tongs to add chicken thighs to the pan one by one. For a gluten free option simply use either gluten free flour for the dredging or no flour at all!

Bob Williams says
Would be really helpful if the ingredient list was complete and listed a minor ingredient like MUSHROOMS! Also limited input on how much of certain ingredients like butter to use for those of us rookie cooks
Adrianne says
Hi Bob, thanks for taking the time to comment. I didn't realise that I had left out the quantity of mushrooms (2 cups), cheers for bringing it to my attention so I can update the recipe for readers. The butter is 50 grams. I don't think one star is fair for tiny mistakes, as I am just like you, a home chef that loves to cook, but my rookie days have past. Again, I am glad that you let me know, I will update now. Hope you enjoy the recipe, its a good one, I admit. Also hope that you come back again and try another one, there are plenty to choose, give me a shout if there is a typo and I will get onto it. Cheers and happy cooking!
