A flavorful Spanish-inspired chicken dish marinated in a blend of herbs, spices, and wine, then cooked to perfection.
Crush the garlic cloves with the sea salt using a mortar and pestle until a smooth paste forms.
Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor in the marinade.
Mix the garlic paste with paprika, oregano, thyme, black pepper, olive oil, and white wine in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring it is evenly covered.
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low after searing to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
