Substitutions

Chicken Thigh vs Chicken Breast

Chicken thighs are naturally juicier and dry out less when cooking, but yes, you can substitute them with chicken breasts. However, when cooking, you might need to adjust cooking time or add more seasoning because while chicken breast can work as a substitute for making Chicken with Garlic and Fresh Herbs, it still has less fat content and thus, less flavor.

Chicken Stock Substitutions

Chicken stock is a classic choice for chicken & garlic with fresh herbs, but if you currently don’t have that in your pantry, here are some other good stock substitutions:

- Vegetable Broth – If you want to change the recipe to a plant-based vegetarian chicken, you can also use vegetable broth. This also makes the flavor of the dish lighter compared to chicken stock.

White Wine – This is another classic for chicken with garlic and herbs. The white wine adds a wonderful brightness and acidity to this dish that especially pairs well with the garlic and herbs. Just make sure to simmer it longer to ensure that the alcohol cooks off!
