POLLO AL LIMONE

In our family we call this dish Pollo Angelo. My father brought back this idea from a restaurant in Las Vegas, where he worked for a short while when I was in high school. I am not sure who Angelo was nor can I say that this is an authentic Italian dish. However, something similar does exist on the Amalfi coast. So who knows...maybe Angelo was also from there!

Pollo Angelo was comfort food for me and my brothers growing up, and is now comfort food for my children, and definitely our favorite way to remember our Nonno Matteo.

It is super easy to make. Your children will love it too!

INGREDIENTS for 5 people:

2 Chicken Breasts
Some flour for dusting the chicken
About 3 TBS of butter
Salt
Pepper
1 Fresh Lemon

Start by removing fat from the chicken breast. Cut it in chunks. Dust them in flour.
Let the butter melt in a frying pan. Add the chicken. Cook on medium / high heat so that a crust will form on the outside. Turn it to make sure all sides form a crust. Add salt and pepper to taste and the juice of a lemon. Lower heat to low. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Serve promptly with your favorite veggies.
