Ingredients

  • 3-4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, and thyme)

Instructions

1
Prep the ingredients

Mince the garlic, chop the vegetables, and pat the protein dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2
Sear & Sauté

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the protein and sear until golden brown on all sides.

3
Simmer & Build Flavor

Add the aromatics, sauce, and broth. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 13 minutes until cooked through and sauce is luscious.

4
Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, grated parmesan, or freshly squeezed citrus juice. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Chef's Note: Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently to preserve texture and moisture.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Don't overmix the batter — a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier results.
  • Use a hot, well-greased surface for the best browning.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, or keep warm in a 200°F oven.
