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!

Fried Chicken Recipe [Frittiertes Huhn Rezept]

First of all, I'd like to say, I'm sorry, because I can't show you all recipes. That doesn' mean, I didn't make them, I just can't show you.

I made Lasagna and I can't show you, because I made them at my grannies home and forgot my camera. When I'm free, I'll post the recipe anyway, but without pics.

I also made (or tried to make) Gnocci di Zucca, which didn't turn out very well. I can't show you, because I screwed up the recipe and therefore can't explain you how to make them. I don't know, want went wrong. When I have time, I'll try to make them again.

Now I'm going to show you how to make fried chicken. This is a side dish, you have to serve it with something else. If you want to have it as main dish (without anything else), you have to double the ingredients.


Fried Chicken Recipe for 4 (400kcal per serving)

300g chicken breast
          For the seasoning:
1tsp paprika
1tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp cayenne pepper
1/2tsp salt
1/4tsp pepper
          For the dough:
160g wheat flour
1 beaten egg
100ml milk
Oil for deep frying


1. Cut the meat into bite size pieces.
2. In a big bowl (big enough to hold the meat as well) mix the spices well. Put in the meat and stir until coated.
3. In another bowl, mix flour, egg and milk and whisk.

4. In a big pan, heat the frying oil to high heat (not too high, the oil musn't smoke!)
5. Now we have to fry the chicken. Coat it well with dough (be careful, it's really sticky) and then place in the hot oil, piece by piece. Don't put it all in at once, because the oil temperature will drop.
6. Fry until golden brown. If you're pan isn't high enough, you may have to turn the meat once or twice.

7. You can serve with parsley and lemon slices.

Enjoy your meal!
