Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken: Start by skinning, boning, and cutting the chicken breast into strips.
-
Sauté Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken breast strips lightly on both sides.
-
Prepare Soup Mix: In a bowl, mix together the celery soup and milk until well combined. Stir in the dried sage to infuse the flavors.

-
Prepare Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves and spread them evenly in an ovenproof container.

Assemble Dish: Pour the prepared soup mix over the minced garlic in the ovenproof container.
