Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse the fillet and pat it dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat some butter and fry the meat for 4 minutes on each side.

Step 2

Peel the garlic and place it in a baking dish. Layer the sautéed meat on top, ensuring that there is a clove of garlic under each piece of meat.

Step 3

In the skillet where the meat was cooked, pour in the milk, add a few strips of lemon zest (I just tossed in some small pieces), saffron, and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Once the sauce comes to a boil, pour it over the chicken and place it in an oven preheated to 392°F for 30 minutes. During this time, be sure to baste the chicken with the sauce about 5 to 6 times – this is the secret to the dish's juiciness.
