Chicken With Herbs Recipe [Pollo alle erbe Recipe]

Today I'm going to show you a delicious and low fat recipe (when you remove the skin or take chicken breast), that's a great alternative to classic fried chicken. Usually you take sage and rosemary but you can also take any other herbages as long as its taste underlines the chicken and does not overlap it.

Chicken With Herbages for 4 ( 380 kcal /serving)



4 chicken legs
2 garlic cloves
6 tbsp olive oil
FRESH herbs (I'm taking rosemary, basil and lemon grass , but you can also take other herbs like sage, thyme or oregano. Just don't take too much or it'll feel like biting into a tea bag.)
salt and pepper to taste
a pan with lit
Optional:
lemons
watercress

1. Peel the garlic cloves. Cut in half lengthswise and then crush it with a cooking spoon.
2. With a knife cut the chicken legs into half. Therefor, place the knife between the drumstick and the chicken back. Cut the skin and meat and then break it with your hands.
3. Lay the meat on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Take 3 stalks of rosemary, 8-10 basil leaves and on stem of lemon grass, cut into half. Or change depending on what herbs you're using.


5. Let's fry the meat. In your pan, bring olive oil to medium heat. Put the chicken in with skinside down. Fry until golden brown.


6. Turn over and keep frying over low heat.
7. After 2-3 minutes, add your herbs and garlic to the pan and fry until they're releasing their aroma.


8. Close the lid and fry over low heat for 20 minutes. Sometimes baste with the fat in the pan.
9. Done! Just arrange with sliced lemons and watercress and you're done!

Buon Appetito!
