    Chicken with Garlic Sauce - 8 WW Points Plus

    Published: Nov 25, 2012 Last updated: Jul 25, 2019 by Shelby Law Ruttan · As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    It didn't hit me until the day after Thanksgiving that we didn't have any leftovers!  Too funny really.  This was the first year I didn't have a small turkey to make at home for ourselves since we have been going to my Aunt's for Thanksgiving.  It was pretty sad when Grumpy and I were both craving leftovers and we didn't have any!  However, I did not rush right out and buy us a turkey, although I will make us a turkey dinner before this year is over with.  We ended up getting together with some neighbors the day after and had pizza delivered instead.  🙂

    I spent the morning trying to figure out what I could make for dinner last evening.  I wanted something comforting and yummy, but not hard on the waistline.  I found several recipes on CookingLight.com but finally went with one from Taste of Home.  I used all chicken broth instead of wine and fresh thyme instead of rosemary.  I also had my own dried sage that my mom had given me and I rubbed my own sage.  I went with a little more the ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes....just because.  🙂

      Our turkey barely gets eaten but I love having leftovers. Yes, you have to make at least one Turkish dinner a year. This chicken looks delicious as I love garlic.

      I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that you don't have leftovers. Wow. My husband would be going through major withdrawal. 🙂 Regarding the chicken; 20 cloves of garlic...wow. That must have smelled and tasted amazing. It looks delicious.
