Chicken with cherry tomato and garlic
Description
One of my great inspirations in the kitchen was my confirmation godmother. During my stays with her, she passed on to me a taste for simple, economical and tasty dishes, made with very good ingredients. In fact, it was while watching her cook that I wrote down this family recipe: a tender, fragrant chicken, roasted with a multitude of garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes lightly preserved in the oven. An ideal dish for a convivial meal, whether there are two of you or a large table.
