   • Place the chicken thighs between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a mallet or any heavy flat object to flatten them slightly. This helps tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking.

2. Season the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. This step enhances the flavor of the chicken.

3. Heat the Oil:

   • In a heavy nonstick pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. The olive oil adds richness to the dish and helps prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.

4. Add Aromatic Flavors:

   • Once the oil is hot, add the sprig of rosemary and the crushed garlic cloves to the pan. These aromatic ingredients infuse the oil with their flavors, enhancing the taste of the chicken.

5. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Sauté the rosemary and garlic for 1-2 minutes, pressing down on them with a spatula or spoon to release their flavors into the oil. This step adds depth to the dish.

6. Remove Aromatics:

   • After sautéing, use a slotted spoon to remove the rosemary and garlic from the pan. Discard them as their flavors have been imparted into the oil.

7. Cook the Chicken:

   • Carefully add the seasoned chicken thighs to the pan, ensuring they are in a single layer. Sauté the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, turning them frequently, until they are browned and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs.

8. Infuse with Garlic:

   • During the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the minced garlic to further enhance the garlic flavor in the dish. This adds a delightful aromatic punch to the chicken.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the chicken thighs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the heat and serve hot. These garlic-infused chicken thighs are delicious on their own or paired with your favorite side dishes.
