You can microwave everything in the same dish, including the whole head of garlic; once cooked, the cloves are soft enough to mash and the taste is mild and sweet. Recipe from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food.
Ingredients:
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 head garlic (unpeeled)
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons paprika
coarse salt
ground pepper
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Directions:
1. In a 2-quart microwave-safe dish, toss onion with oil.
2. Place garlic in the center, cover and microwave on high 5 minutes.
3. Stir bell pepper and tomato paste into onion.
4. Rub chicken with paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; place on vegetables, with the thickest part of breast facing edge of dish. Microwave on high 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked-throughout.
5. Remove chicken.
6. Remove garlic, slice off top, and squeeze cloves into small bowl.
7. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice; mash with a spoon.
8. Stir garlic into vegetables; spoon onto plates and serve chicken on top.
