Wild garlic season has finally arrived, it’s time to use this fantastic flavor in your cooking. Wild garlic offers a lovely, mild “garlic-like” taste that pairs perfectly with juicy chicken.
Chicken and wild garlic is one of our favorite combinations, especially in May when wild garlic is at its best. The simple preparation makes this a weekday-friendly dish with a flavorful twist.
The buttery wild garlic butter melts over the chicken breasts, adding a delicious aroma, while new potatoes become crispy on the outside and tender inside. Pre-boil the potatoes for extra crispiness.
This dish is perfect for a weekend meal, but it’s easy enough to enjoy as a quick weeknight dinner. The combination of fresh spring vegetables and wild garlic makes it a perfect spring dish.
Variants & Tips
- Vegetarian version: Replace chicken with 400 g chickpeas, season with paprika, and bake.
- Extra flavor: Add a few finely chopped garlic cloves to the wild garlic butter for an extra kick.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a fresh green salad on the side.
- Try with asparagus and spinach salad with poached egg and browned butter for an extra spring feel.
