With a sauce that expertly harnesses the tang of garlic and tempers it with a creamy, French-inspired design, the dish is composed of copious precision-cut pieces of tender chicken, and a modest medley of vegetables. Each element retains its identity, while also perfectly harmonising into the overall flavour, evoking a warm, welcome comfort, perfect for a chilly winter’s night, reminding you of the satisfaction of when things… just… work. Although the Creamy Garlic Chicken is guilt-free and sinless, one risks finding oneself digging in with two spoons, indulging in the endorphin-inducing goodness. The competition is now open for voting, ending 9 July, with a Country Club Members’ special including jasmine rice for just $25.
