How to cook it

- Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet or griddle over medium high heat and add the crushed garlic cloves to flavor the oil.
- Lay the chicken fillets in the hot pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side without moving them, until deeply golden.
- Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
