Jorge’s Chicken in Garlic Sauce

Submitted by Wineaux

"I found this recipe on the Providence, R.I. Journal website and I figured, hey, with the season of hobgoblins drawing near, it wouldn't hurt to have a good recipe using lots of garlic to keep the vampires at bay!! People who don't like garlic should not try this as written, but for us who do like it, it's a real keeper!!"

I made this using all the garlic and the flavor was great. I didn't add the cornstarch to the sauce as I thought it was thick enough as it was. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
