  • 5-10 cloves garlic whole with skin removed

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    3. Add almond milk, garlic, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, a handful of parsley and salt and pepper to the pan. Bring to boil.
    4. Place in oven and cook for 25-30 minutes. Or for up to an hour in a 300-degree oven.
    5. Remove cinnamon stick, parsley and bay leaf from pan. Remove chicken to plate.
    6. Squeeze lemon juice into a cup and add cornstarch to it and a bit of hot liquid. Whisk quickly to incorporate so it does not form lumps. Whisk into the sauce. Boil the sauce for 1-2 minutes until nicely thickened. Season to taste.
    7. Replace chicken and serve with parsley, lemon slices, and rice.
