First, this recipe calls for a lot of chopping. Check out the Pro 8 Inch Wide Chef’s Knife by Zwilling J.A. Henckels. This extremely user-friendly, strong, and broad-bladed knife allows for ease of cutting and chopping while providing an easy way for you to transfer vegetables from the cutting board to the dish. Designed in Italy and made in Germany, throw this knife in the dishwasher for easy clean-up. 

Second, a good cutting board is a cook’s best friend. The Birchwood Carving Board with Handles will make preparing the chicken required for this recipe a breeze. Featuring a channel for overflow and handles for easy transportation around the kitchen, the creatives at Zwilling have outdone themselves. This beautiful and functional cutting board is made from premium birch wood that provides a stable surface for preparing meat, making this an essential that you definitely want to have on hand. 

Finally, we suggest adding the Rösle Garlic Press to your collection. Rösle makes sleek, gorgeous, and highly functional prep tools for the kitchen that are all made with stainless steel. This press can be washed in the dishwasher for easy cleanup and boasts the strength to easily press unpeeled garlic cloves. To complement its beauty and strength, this press is made with a special mechanism to ensure that minimal effort is required.
